شَرَّفْتَ مَنْ أَصْبَحَ فِي غَمْرَهْ

بِزَوْرَةٍ لَمْ تُبْقِ مِنْ غَمْرَهْ

You have honored one who was immersed

You brought honor to one who awoke in overwhelming distress,

In darkness with a visit that left no trace of his darkness

With a visit that spared not a trace of affliction.

قَدْ زَارَهَا إِذْ زُرْتَهَا خُفْيَةً

بَدْرُ الْمَعَالِي مُشْرِقُ الْغُرَّهْ

The full moon of sublime qualities, the shining sun, visited him secretly

It was visited, when you visited it in secret,

O Abu Al-Abbas, O you through whom

By the full moon of eminence, radiant of countenance.

أَيَا أَبَا الْعَبَّاسِ يَا مَنْ بِهِ

أَمْسَى غَرِيبُ الْعِلْمِ ذَا أُسْرَهْ

The outcast knowledge seeker gains family

O Abu al-Abbas, O you through whom

May the Merciful spare you what you dislike

The isolated seeker of knowledge found his kindred.

جَنَّبَكَ الرَّحْمَانُ مَا تَكْرَهْ

يَا مُطِيعَ التَّحْقِيقِ يَا بَدْرَهْ

O obedient to the truth, O full moon

May the Merciful spare you from all that you abhor,

O devoted servant of realization, O its full moon.
