ما رفْرَفَ السَّعدُ إِلاَّ في مَحاضِرِنا

ولا انْجَلى العِزُّ إِلاَّ في مَظاهِرِنا

Our auspicious stars have only shone in our gatherings,

And glory has only been revealed through our manifestations.

كلُّ المَفاخِرِ إن حقَّقْتَ زُبْدَتَها

مطوِيَّةٌ حينَ تَبدو في مَفاخِرِنَا

All boasts, if you examine their essence,

Are folded when they appear amongst our prides.

رَقائِقُ الغيبِ تُمْليها سَرائِرُنا

ونَقْشُها مُستفاضٌ من سَرائِرِنَا

The subtleties of the unseen are inspired by our mysteries,

And their decoration abundantly flows from our mysteries.

والأَولِياءُ وإنْ جلَّتْ مَراتِبُهُمْ

لاذَ الأَكابِرُ منهُمْ في أَصاغِرِنَا

The saints, though their ranks are exalted,

The greatest amongst them reside in our lowliest.

وكم بَصائِرُ قومٍ في الهَوى انْطَمَسَتْ

نالَتْ شُروقَ فُتوحٍ من بَصائِرِنَا

How many visions of infatuated people have been obscured,

Having attained the dawns of openings from our visions.

وفي بَوادي التَّجلِّي عن حقائِقِنا

دقائقٌ هي تُمْلى من حواضِرِنَا

In the valleys of divine disclosure of our truths

Are fine points inspired from our presences.

عَبيرُ مسكِ التَّدلِّي كلَّما عَبَقَتْ

أَسرارُهُ راحَ يروي عن عَبائِرِنَا

The fragrance of musk of inspiration, whenever it spreads,

Its secrets quench thirst from our expressions.

وكلُّ أَعلامِ أهلِ اللهِ إنْ نُشِرَتْ

تُطوى مع البَسطِ في مَجلى أَشائِرِنَا

And all the signs of Allah's saints, if they are spread,

Are wrapped up in our assemblage of indications.

وأَنعُمُ المَدَدِ القُدْسِيِّ ما برِحَتْ

تنهَلُّ وَبْلاً خِضَمًّا من بَشائِرِنَا

The most blessed heavenly support has not ceased

To draw copious water from our glad tidings.

كُبَّارُ أهلِ الوَحا من كلِّ طائفَةٍ

ما بينَ أَعتابِنا أو في دَوائِرِنَا

The greatest people of mystical states from every group

Are between our thresholds or in our circles.

نِيابَةُ المُصْطَفى في نشرِ حكمَتِهِ

قامتْ بغائِبِنا قِدْماً وحاضِرِنَا

The trusteeship of the Chosen One in spreading his wisdom

Stood by our absent and present ones.

ونُورُهُ لم يزَلْ يُجْلى بباطِنِنا

وعِزُّهُ ظاهِرٌ فينا بظاهِرِنَا

And his light continues to illuminate our esoteric dimension,

While his glory is evident in us externally.

لنا فُحولُ غُيوبٍ ظاهِراً خَطَبَتْ

على منصَّةِ دِينٍ من منابِرِنَا

We have mystics of the unseen who have openly declared

On the platform of religion from our pulpits.

من كلِّ جامِعِ طَوْرٍ في جوامِعِنا

وكلِّ حاضِرِ قلبٍ في حَضائِرِنَا

From every sanctuary of Mount Sinai in our mosques

And every heartfelt presence in our dwellings.

تُلوَى بُروقُ المَعالي في مشاهِدِنا

وذي شُروقُ المَعاني في مقابِرِنَا

The flashes of sublime meanings are folded in our sanctuaries

As the risings of meanings are in our cemeteries.

وكلُّ ناثِرِ دُرٍّ دونَ ناثِرِنا

وكلُّ شاعِرِ ذَوْقٍ دونَ شاعِرِنَا

Every disseminator of pearls is beneath our disseminator,

And every poet of taste is beneath our poet.

خذْ عن صِغارِ حِمانا كلَّ مكرُمَةٍ

وافْتَقْ رُتوقَ التَّدلِّي عن أَكابِرِنَا

Take from the small ones of our protective refuge every honor,

And draw the ropes of inspiration from our greatest ones.

قلْ للمُكابِرِ طَيْشاً مِتَّ في سَقَمٍ

عارَضْتَ عن حَسَدٍ سُلطانَ ناصِرِنَا

Say to the stubbornly resistant in sickness and delirium,

You have opposed the authority of our victorious supporter out of envy.

إذا عَبَثْتَ على جهلٍ بعاجِزِنا

فقد بُليتَ ولم تشعُرْ بقادِرِنَا

If you play in ignorance with our helpless ones,

Then you are already afflicted, and unaware of our Omnipotent.
