يا مَن لَهُ حَضرة في القُدس مَنزلها
عرفتها عَن يَقين كَيفَ أَجهلها
O you whose presence has its dwelling in the holy realm,
I have known it with certainty—how could I be ignorant of it?
إني إِذا رُمت مِن شَوقي أَقتلها
في حالة البُعد روحي كُنت أَرسلها
Indeed, when in my longing I wished to kill it,
in separation I would send my soul,
تقبل الأَرض عَني وَهيَ نائِبَتي
لِلّه روح عَلى ظَهر الغبوب سرت
to kiss the earth on my behalf, acting as my proxy.
How wondrous a spirit that traveled upon the back of [the unseen realms?]!
وَعَنكَ في عالم الأَرواح ما فترت
فَإِن تَكُن حبست بالجسم وَاستترت
And in the world of spirits, its devotion to you never slackened.
So if it has been confined in the body and hidden,
فَهَذِه نَوبة الأَشباح قَد حضرت
فَامدد يَمينك كَي تَحظى بِها شَفَتي
then this turn of bodily forms has now arrived.
So extend your right hand, that my lip may be graced with it.
