مَد فَضلاً عَلى الوجود عَميما

سَيد لَم يَزَل صفوحاً كَريما

He extended favor upon existence entirely

A lord who was always forgiving and generous

ما سَمعنا لَهُ عَديلاً شَبيها

لا خَليلاً وَلا صَفياً كَليما

We never heard of anyone similar or akin to him

Neither an intimate friend nor a bosom buddy

مَلأ الكَون من نَداه وَأَضحى

إِذ أَتانا بِنا رَؤوفاً رَحيما

He filled the universe with his bounty and became

As he brought us near, very kind and merciful

مَلجأ اللائِذين مولي العَطايا

كُل عاف مِن الوَرى وَعَديما

Refuge of the seekers, master of blessings

Every wellness in creation and the deprived

مَنجأ الخائِفين في يَوم حَشر

حَيث يَخشون زفرة وَجَحيما

Shelter of the fearful on day of resurrection

Where they fear a roar and hellfire

مطمح العارفين سر المَعالي

كَم شَفى كَفه عَليلاً سَقيما

Aspiration of the gnostics, secret of sublimities

How many a feeble and sick his palm healed

منهج الواصِلين كَم ذاقَ مِنهُ

وَاصل نعمة وَفَضلاً جَسيما

Path of the united, how much from Him

A united tasted grace and ample favor

مَنهل الواردين كَم فاضَ جَهراً

كَفه مشرباً روباً عَميما

Spring of the arriving, how much it overflowed openly

His palm a drinking place, vast and general

مذهب الباس وَالعَنا وَعَلَيه

نزل الوَحي وَالكِتاب قَديما

Doctrine of intimacy and estrangement, upon it

Revelation and ancient scripture descended

محق الكُفر بالقنا وَالمَواضي

فَهدانا بِها طَريقاً قَويما

Vanquishing disbelief with spear and battlefield

So He guided us to a straight path
