أَلا طوبى لِمَن أَمسى وَأَضحى
خَفيفَ الظَهرِ مِن ثِقلِ الذُنوبِ
Lo, blessed is the one who, evening and morning,
is light of back, free of the weight of sins;
تَجُرُّ خِصالُهُ مِنّا لَدَينا
ذُيولاً ما تَدَنَّسُ بِالعُيوبِ
among us, before our eyes, his virtues trail
trains that no blemish has ever soiled.
يَغيبُ عَنِ الأَباعِدِ وَالأَداني
لِخَلوَتِهِ بِعَلّامِ الغُيوبِ
He withdraws from those far and near alike
to commune alone with the All-Knower of the unseen.
