صَحَّ عِنْدِي الْخَبَر

وسَرَى في سِرِّي

The news came true for me

And spread in my secret

أنَّ عَيْنَ النَّظَر

عَيْنُ عَيْنِ الْفِكْرِ

That the eye of sight

Is the eye of thought's eye

أغْمِضِ الطَّرْفَ تَرى

وتَلُوحْ أخْبارَك

Close your eyelid and you will see

Your news becoming apparent

وافْنَا عَنْ ذَا الْوَرَى

تبْدو لَكْ أسْرارَكْ

And turn away from this abode

Your secrets become obvious to you

وبِصَقْل الْمِرَي

بِهْ يَزَل إِنْكارَكْ

And by polishing the mirror

Your denial will slip away

وتَلُوحْ لَكْ صُوَر

مِن عُيُونِ تَسْرِي

And images will appear to you

From eyes that flow

فالتفت إن ظهر

في سماك الدرى

So turn around if the back becomes apparent

In your celestial sphere the cosmos revolves around you

الفلك بيك يدور

ويضيء ويلمع

It illuminates and shines

And the suns and planets

والشموس بِيكْ والْبُدُور

فِيكْ تَغيب وتَطْلع

Set and rise in you

So comprehend the meaning of the lines

فاقْرَ مَعْنَى السُّطُور

الَّتي فِيكَ أجْمَعْ

That lie gathered in you

Do not miss a line

لاَ تُغادِرْ سَطْراً

مِن سُطُورِكْ وادرِي

Of your lines, and know

What is the meaning of the moon

أيْشُ هُ مَعْنَى الْقَمَر

الذي فيكَ بِسري

That is secretly in you

My sea of thought is deep

بَحْر فِكْري عَمِيق

مِسْكُ كُلّو يَعْبقْ

Its musk is fragrant throughout

Whoever enters it sincerely

مَن دَخَل لَوْ حَقيقْ

ليْسَ يَخَافَ أنْ يَغْرق

Will not fear drowning

The people of the path know

يَدْرُوا أهْلُ الطَّريقْ

مِن كلاَم عبدِ الْحَقّ

That my sea

Cannot be measured by their sea

أنَّ ذَاكَ البَحَرْ

لَسْ يُقاس بِبَحْرِي

The sea of my thought is made of pearls

And flowers are in my land

بَحْرُ فِكْرِي دُرَر

والزَّهْرُ في بَرِّي

So the discourse turned

And I heard from myself

فالْتَفتُّ الْخِطابْ

وسَمِعْتُوا مِنِّي

All of me became absent from me

And I became annihilated from myself

كُلِّي عَنْ كُلِّي غابْ

وَأنَا عَنِّي مَفْنِي

The veil was lifted from me

And I witnessed my essence

وارتَفَعْ لِي الْحِجاب

وشَهِدتُّ أُنِي

No trace of me remained

I became absent with my trace

ما بَقالِي أثَرْ

غبْتُ أنا مَعْ أثْرِي

None were found present

In reality other than me

لَم نَجِد مَنْ حَضَر

فَي الْحَقيقهْ غَيرِي

My masters, understand

The meaning of my words

ساداتِي وافْهمُوا

الْمُراد مِنْ قَوْلِي

My secret is not concealed

From anyone of my people

سِرّي لَسْ نكْتُمُوا

عَنْ أحَد مِن أهْلِي

Only those who are like me

Will understand my words

قَوْلِي لَس يَفْهمُوا

إِلاَّ مَنْ هُ مِثْلِي

The thread of my rosary scattered

And my pearls appeared to me

سِلْكُ عِقْدي انْتَثَر

وبَدَا لِي دُرِّي

String them, my companions

I am indeed intoxicated

انظموه يا جوَارْ

إِنَّنِي في سُكْرِي
