خادم الله يخدم العزُّ بابَهْ

وتود العلى تمس ركابَهْ

The servant of God serves the Mighty at his door

And the exalted long to touch his feet

وله من رضى الإله وشاحٌ

وعليه شهامة ومهابه

And he has the pleasure of God as a shawl

And he has glory and awe

والسعيد السعيد من شملته

نظرة منه أو حباه خطابه

Happy is the one who is included

In his glance or addressed in his words

لك طوبى إن كنت يوما تراه

راضياً عنك قد أحاط حجابه

You are blessed if one day you see him

Pleased with you, drawn his veil

وإذا كان ساخطاً قل سريعاً

إنما الله ساخطٌ فتشابه

And if he is angry, say quickly

God is angry, so they resemble each other
