ضوء ذَاكَ المقام يَزداد وَمضا

قَد سَرى في الوُجود طولاً وَعَرضا

The light of that abode grows brighter in its glow

It has spread through existence, in length and breadth

ضاعَ مِنهُ الشَذا وَفاحَ عَبير

أَبَداً لا يَزال رَطباً وَغَضا

Its fragrance wafts, fresh as the dawn

Ever moist and verdant it will remain

ضن دهري بِهِ وَلستُ بِراض

أَمحب بِحادث الدَهر يَرضى

My lifetime has pained me, though not pleased I was

Can one who loves the fickle world, be pleased?

ضَرني البُعد وَيحه ما عَلَيه

لَو حَباني بِساعة القُرب قَرضا

Parting pained me, though the fault was mine

If it would grant me but an hour's company as debt

ضمر العيس للمدينة سارَت

لَيتَ خَدي لعيسهم كان أَرضا

The caravan for Medina moved on

Would that my cheek became for them a pavement!

ضاعَ عُمري وَإِن قَلبي مَريض

وَجَميع القوى لِذَلك مرضى

My life is wasted though my heart is sick

And all my faculties by this made frail

ضاقَ صَدري مِن الذُنوب فَمهما

مَر وَقت عَلَيه يَزداد رمضا

My breast is straitened by sins so however

Much time elapses it will still have burning

ضجر زاد بي فَأنزلت رحلي

ينبي عَن زلة العَبد أَغضى

Disquiet increased in me so I lowered my gear

It suits not the servant to slip into error

ضاحك عِندَ طاعة اللَه لَكن

في تَعدي الحُدود يَزداد قَبضا

Laughing in obeying God but in violating limits

Becomes even more somber and austere

ضارب في كَتائب الكُفر رام

وَعَلَيهِ القِيام قَد كانَ فَرضا

Striking the regiments of unbelief he hoped

And rising against them was an ordained duty
