يا من إذا أبصرتُه

أبصرتُ نفسي وإذا

O you whom when I see

I see myself and when

أبصرَني أبصرَ أي

ضاً نفسَه مُعوّذا

He sees me, he sees his own

Soul protected by him from him

منه به فليتني

لم أكُ إذا كنتُ كذا

Would that I were not so

Whenever I am such

فكلُّ ما أسأله

فيه يقولُ حبَّذا

For whatever I ask of him

He says: would that!

هذا هو الجودُ الذي

صيَّر قلبي جِهبِذا

This is the generosity which

Has made my heart panic-stricken

لذا تراني كلما

أذكره منتبذا

Hence you see me whenever

I remember him, deranged

فالحمد لله الذي

أقامني في ذا وذا

So praise be to God who

Kept me in this and that
