يا صالِحَ اِجعَل وَصفَ شَخصِك وَاِسمَهُ

مِثلَنِ إِنَّكَ في بِحارِكَ ماهِرُ

O Noble One, make your description and name

Like us, you are skilled in your oceans

ما فِضَّةُ الإِنسانِ إِلّا فَضَّةٌ

وَالتِبرُ تَتبيرٌ وَجَدُّكَ ظاهِرُ

A human's silver is but silver

And tin is tin, and you are the Manifest

وَالدُرُّ دَرٌّ لِلهُمومِ تُسِرُّهُ

إِنَّ الجَواهِرَ بِالأَذاةِ جَواهِرُ

And a pearl is a pearl that delights worries

Indeed jewels are made jewels by suffering

كَذَبَ الَّذي سَمّى المُمَلَّكَ قاهِراً

نَحنُ الأَذِلَّةُ وَالمَليكُ القاهِرُ

He who named the Ruler the Subduer lied

We are the abased ones, and the King is the Subduer

وَكَذاكَ يُدعى طاهِراً مَن كُلُّهُ

نَجسٌ وَيُفقَدُ في الأَنامِ الطاهِرُ

And thus is called Pure, he who is

Entirely impure, and the Pure is lost among people
