صار بفؤاد الوجد نحو ربوعها

لأنس نار الطور في طيبها خفا

My heart inclined towards her abode

For the intimacy of Mount Sinai’s fire in its goodness secretly

وما أبصرت عيني سواها لأنها

أماطت لثام الحسن عن وجهها كشفا

And my eyes did not see anyone but her for she

Unveiled the veil of beauty from her face openly

تراءت لعيني في الصبا بمظاهر

سواها لقد أبدت جمالا به أشفا

She appeared to my eyes in the morning with attributes

Other than her, she indeed manifested a beauty by which I recovered

وكنت بوهم أرتقي عرش سرها

لكي تنجلي بالذات قالت قفا قفا

And I was in delusion climbing the throne of her mystery

That she may appear in her essence, she said stop, stop!

فصليت في المحراب كي ما أرى به

جمال جمال الوجه قالت صفا صفا

So I prayed in the shrine that I may see in it

The beauty of the beauty of the face, she said pure, pure!

أبانت لعيني في الصباح فأعدمت

دياجي السوى عند الفناء بها صرفا

She manifested to my eyes in the morning and so annulled

My imaginations other than with her completely

وقبل الفنا في الذات لا بد من فنا

بإنسان عين الحق فيه كفا كفا

And before annihilation in the essence, one must be annihilated

By the human eye of Truth in him enough, enough!

فمن لم ير أن الوجود بأسره

محمد الحق الكريم على شفا

So whoever did not see that the entire existence

Is Muhammad the Truthful Generous clearly

غدا طول دهره

يشاهد ذات الحق حقا لدى الصفا

Will spend his entire life

Seeing the essence of Truth truly in purity

ولم يشهد العين المحيط فإنه

على بسط بالنقص يبدو لها خفا

And did not witness the all-encompassing eye for he

Appears to it deficiently with shortcoming secretly

لأنه عين العين والنقطة التي

أديرت بسر الباء فيها بدا صفا

Because He is the eye of the eye and the point around which

The secret of the letter baa revolved in it purely

بكلي بها منها إليها غدا

لأني بها عني ذهلت فما جفا

Totally by it from it to it tomorrow

Because by it about it I became perplexed and did not dry out
