ذكر القَلب ذَنبه فَاستعاذا

وَبَكى ناظِري وَزادَ رذاذا

My heart recalled its sin and sought refuge,

And my eyes wept, increasing their flow.

ذبت مِن زِلتي فَصار فُؤادي

مِن ذُنوب أتيتهن جذاذا

I melted from my slip, so my heart became,

Jaded from the sins I came to it with.

ذهب العُمر وَالفُؤاد مَريض

مِن سقام لِمهجة الصب آذى

Life passed while my heart ailed,

From the sickness of a burning love's harm.

ذل من صَولة الدنوب وَلَكن

بِكَ يا أَكرَم النَبيين لاذا

It's the humiliation of sins, but with you,

O the most generous of prophets, is my refuge.

ذخر كُل الوَرى فَحق لِمثلي

أَن يرى عِندَ بابكم شحاذا

All people accumulated, so it's right that one like me,

Sees himself at your door as a beggar.

ذروة المذنبين في يَوم حَشر

ذاكَ مِن خَلفه يَلوذ وَهَذا

The peak of sinners on the day of resurrection,

Is one behind the other seeking refuge and shelter.

ذمة اللَه لا أريد سِواه

ناصِراً لي مِن الهَوى نقاذا

I want no guarantor but Allah's covenant,

To save me from passionate love.

ذهل العَقل مِن نعوت نَبي

طابَ لي مَدحه وَزادَ لذاذا

Reason is bewildered by the attributes of a prophet,

Whose praise is pleasant to me and increases my joy.

ذاكَ من شيد الإِله علاه

فَلِذا جل قَدره أَن يُحاذى

He whom God elevated his status,

So it’s fitting that his esteem be equaled.

ذر حسود الهَوى وَفز بِثَناه

ثُم شَرف بِمَدحه بَغداذا

Leave the envious of passion and excel in his praise,

Then be honored by praising him tomorrow.
