أَنسى بِذِكرِكَ مِن ناسيكَ أَوحَشَني

وَفيكَ عايَنتُ فَقدي عَينُ وِجداني

In remembering you I'm saddened by those who forget you

And in you I've seen the loss of my heart's delight

فَيا بَقائي لِنَفسي في الفَناءِ بِهِ

أَدَمَ عَلَيَّ فَناءً فيكَ أَبقاني

So oh my remaining in myself through annihilation in Him

He granted me annihilation in you that made me last

فَإِنَّني لَم أَجِد نَفذاً لِقَطرِ سَماً

صارَت لِأَرضِكَ لَولا صِرتُ سُلطاني

For I did not find an outlet for a drop of venom

That would have gone to your land had I not been its sultan

لِذا عَلى كُلِّ إِنسِيٍّ عَلَوتُ وَدا

نَت لي بِدينِكَ طَوعاً عُصبَةُ الحاني

Thus over every mortal I've risen in affection

You've become willingly through your religion my tribesmen against tyranny
