زين الملوك الصيد مر بزينتي
كرما وباب الله طاف ببابي
The beauty of kings went hunting, generously
And the door of God circumambulated my door
يا ليلة القدر التي بلغتها
ما فيك بعد اليوم من مرتاب
O night of power which you have reached
After today there is no more suspicion in you
ما كنت أهلا للنوال وإنما
نفحات أحمد فوق كل حساب
I was not worthy of attaining this
But the breaths of Ahmed are beyond all reckoning
لما بلغت السؤل ليلة مدحه
بعث الملوك يعظمون جنابي
When on the night of his praise I attained my request
Kings sent gifts to honor me
بدران بدر في السماء منوّر
وأخوه فوق الأرض نور رحابي
Two full moons in the sky illuminated
And his brother on earth, the light of my sanctuary
هاذ ابن هانئ نال ما قد نلت من
حسب نُدل به على الأحساب
This is the son of Haani, who attained what I attained
Sufficient to be guided to the most noble
قد كان يسعى للرشيد ببابه
فسعى الرشيد إليه وهو بباب
He used to strive at the door of the Rightly Guided
So the Rightly Guided strove toward him while he was at his door
