1. يا لَمعَةَ البَرقِ بَل يا هَبَّةَ الريحِ

    روحي بِجِسمي إِلى مَن عِندَهُ روحي

    O flash of lightning, nay, O gust of wind

    My soul with my body to the one in whom my soul resides

  2. خُذي لَهُم مِن سَلامي عَنبَراً عَبِقاً

    وَأَوقِدِيهِ بِنارٍ مِن تَباريحي

    Take to them from my greetings a fragrant ambergris

    And kindle it with a fire from my sighs

  3. ناشَدتُكِ اللَهَ إِلّا كُنتِ مُخبِرَةً

    عَنّي بِأَنَّهُمُ ذِكري وَتَسبيحي

    I adjure you by God, be one to inform them

    That they are my remembrance and my glorification
