وَمَدارِ دارَةِ قُطبٍ أَربابِ الوَفا

بَعدَ اِنتِسابِهِمُ إِلى أَهلِ الصَفا

The orbits of the pole and the lords of loyalty

After joining the people of purity,

وَمَواقِعِ التَقبيلِ لِلعَهدِ الَّذي

يَتَعاهَدونَ عَلَيهِ مِن حَسَنِ الوَفا

And the places of kissing the covenant which

They commit to with excellent loyalty,

وَدِعايَةِ الداعي إِلَيهِ وَمَن أَجا

بَ إِلى نَداهُ مُعَرِّفاً وَمُعَرَّفا

And the call of the caller to it, and whoever came

Responding to his call, introducing and being introduced,

وَشَهادَةِ الشُهَداءِ لِلمَعنى الَّذي

أَخفوا مَحاسِنَهُ وَلَيسَ بِهِ خَفا

And the testimony of witnesses to the meaning which

They concealed its beauties, and it is not concealed,

ما حَلَّ سَمعي مِثلُ حُلوِ حَديثِكُم

وَالطَرفُ لَم يَعدوكُم مُستَطرِفا

My hearing has never known the sweetness of your talk,

Nor have my eyes admired others, exploring.
