لا رُحتُ لِلآمالِ مِنكَ مُبَلِّغاً

إِن كانَ لي في قَصدِ غَيرِكَ مُبتَغى

I did not go to you as a messenger of hopes

If I had any intention other than you to seek

وَمَتى لِقَولِ سِواكَ أَضحى مُصغِياً

سَمعي وَقَلبي عَن رَشادِكَ ما صَنا

And when to any word but yours I lent an ear

My hearing and heart from your guidance did not abstain

يا مَن مُلِئتُ بِحُبِّهِ وَجداً بِهِ

أَمسَيتُ مِن شُغلِ الأَنامِ مُفَرَّغا

O you whom with love I am filled, for him I yearn

From people's preoccupations I have been set free

لَم يَظمَ وارِدُ عَينِ ظِلِّكَ لا وَلا

ضَحٌّ لِمَن أَضحى عَلَيهِ مُسبَغا

Neither comer nor goer in your shade is denied

Clear for whom upon it protection is bestowed

وَكَذاكَ ما كَذَبَ الفُؤادَ وَما رَأى

بَصَري لَهُ ما زاغَ عَنهُ وَما طَغى

Thus my heart spoke no lies, nor my eyes untrue

My sight from it did not stray nor transgress its view

فَلِذاكَ لَم يُمحَ الَّذي أَثبَتَهُ

لي مَشهِداً بِالغَيبِ مَن فيهِ لَغا

Therefore what it made firm, cannot be erased

A vision of the absent One, in whom my thoughts are plunged

يا مَن بِهِ وَلَهي وَمِن حُبّي لَهُ

وَسِواهُ وَجهي لِلتَوَجُّهِ ما اِبتَغى

O you for whom I am distracted, and my love for you

And but you, my face to turn nowhere else sought

عَجِّل بِصَبري فيكَ رَجعَةَ كَرَّتي

لَأُذيقَ كَأسَ المَوتِ مُهجَةَ مَن بَغى

Hasten my patience's return to you

I will make those who sought drink the cup of death

فَعَلَيكَ ما بَيني وَما بَينَ الوَرى

مِن حاسِدٍ وَمُعانِدٍ يَومَ الوَغى

Upon you, what is between me and all creation

Of enviers and adversaries on the day of agony

وَلَقَد هُزَمتُ الناكِثينَ لِبَيعَتي

لِمّا عَقَرتُ بِحَيِّهِم جَمَلاً رَغا

And I defeated the oath-breakers for my pledge

When I from their abode a camel hamstrung
