ما يتَّقي الله إلا كلُّ ذي نظر

مسدَّد مُجتَبى قد خصَّه اللهُ

None fear God but those with insight,

Chosen and guided by Allah's light.

يقطعُ الليلَ بالتسبيح بين يدي

مولاه دَامعةٌ في الليلِ عيناه

They spend the night glorifying their Lord,

Tears flow from their eyes in accord.

يقول يا سيدي يا منتهى أملي

ما للعبيدِ رحيمٌ غيرُ مولاه

"My Master, my hope's end," they implore,

"Slaves have no refuge but at God's door."

الله كرَّمَ من هذي سجيَّته

ونعته فإذا يدعوه لَّباه

God honored are those of this trait,

When they call Him, their needs He'll sate.

لولا ما ضحكت أرضٌ بزهرتها

ولا بَكتْ سُحبها لولاه لولاه

If not for Him, no land would flower,

No clouds would weep drops in their power.

الله فضَّله الله جمَّله

الله عدَّله الله سوَّاه

God graced them, beautified them,

Rectified them, symmetrized them.

يا صفوةَ الدينِ أنتَ أجمعه

طابتْ بذكرك أعرافٌ وأفواه

O essence of faith, you encompass all,

By your remembrance, mouths stand tall.
