ذَلِّلْ وجودَك لا تكن ذا عِزَّةٍ

حتى تصيرَ نشأتيك جُذاذا

Humble your existence, be not proud

So that your entity becomes delicate

ذنباً عظيماً قد أتى وكبيرة

من يتخذ غير الإله ملاذا

A great sin has come and grievous

He who takes other than God as refuge

ذنب ولا تعد التأخر واتضع

إنَّ المذنبَ يثبتُ الأستاذا

Sin not and count not the delay and be humble

The sinner's teacher is affirmed

ذابت حشاشتُه وعمَّ بلاؤه

لما سقاه وابلاً ورَذَاذا

His misgivings melted and his affliction spread

When He gave him a downpour and gentle rain

ذهبتْ به أيّامه في غفلةٍ

إذ لم تكن عينُ الثبوتِ معاذا

His days went by him in heedlessness

If the eye of certainty had not been his refuge

ذهبَ الذين يشاهدون ذواتهم

وتسللوا منه إليه لو اذا

Those who behold their selves have gone

And they slipped from Him to Him if only

ذبُّوا إلى العلم الغريبِ بظاهر

لم يبرحوا في ذاتهم أفذاذا

They melted into the strange knowledge outwardly

They did not budge in their selves a bit

ذكرهمُ بوجودِهم في بهتهم

حتى يروه في ملجأ وعياذا

His remembrance of their existence in their confused state

Until they see Him as sanctuary and refuge

ذاك الإمام وما سواه فسُوقةٌ

فإذا رأوه فيه قالوا ماذا

That Imam and none other for they are deviants

So when they see Him in it they say what

ذهلوا بمجلاه ولم يك غيرهم

ليس القديمُ مع الحديثِ يُحاذى

They were confused by His glory and none were like them

The Ancient cannot be compared with the Modern
