جاور عَلياً وَلا تَحفَل لِحادثة

وَطارق قَد أَتى بِالحادث الجَلَل

Dwell with the Most High, and heed not what befalls;

Events now come to pass of mighty import.

فَقَد لَبست دُروعاً مِن مَحبته

إِذا أدرعت فَلا تَسأَل عَن الأَسَل

For you are clad in robes of His affection;

When so clad, ask no questions of the thorns.

سَل عَنهُ وَانطق بِهِ وَانظر إِلَيهِ تَجد

شَمائِلاً مزجت بِالخَمر والعَسَل

Inquire of Him, pronounce His name, behold Him;

You'll find tresses of musk and honey mingled.

فَنعتهُ وَاسمه الأَعلى وَصورته

عَلى المَسامع وَالأَفواه وَالمُقَل

His attributes, His most exalted name and image

Are on men's lips, their hearts, their eyes' retinas.
