يا لابساً خِرقةَ التصوّفِ ما

عليك فيما لبستَه حَرَجُ

O you who wear the garb of Sufism, do not

Worry about what you have worn.

إن كنتَ من عُصبةٍ منزَّهة

قد عرفوا ذاتُهم وما مرجوا

If you are of a purified group

Who have known their essence and attained their goal-

قاموا على عفَّةٍ ومسغبة

تهلكُ حتى أتاهم الفرجُ

They have risen with chastity and detachment,

Suffering until relief came to them.

تحصَّنوا بالعليِّ حين علوا

وخصهم بالشهودِ إذ عَرَجوا

They fortified themselves with the Most High when they ascended,

And He singled them out for witnessing when they climbed.

فانظر إلى حالهم وحليتهم

وحصنِ تقديسه الذي ولجوا

So look to their state and their adornment,

And the fortress of sanctity they entered.

وادخل من الموضع الذي دخلوا

تخرجْ بالحليةِ التي خرجوا

And enter from the place they entered,

You will emerge with the adornment they emerged with.
