قف أيُّها المفتون فينا واتَّئد

أحرقت نفسك يا جهول بنار

Stop, O you who are infatuated with us, and settle down,

You have burned yourself, O ignorant one, with fire.

أتريد أن تطوي المناشير التي

نشرت لرفعتنا بأمر الباري

Do you want to fold the saws that

Were deployed for our elevation by the command of the Maker?

هيهات أنت على شفا جرفٍ فمل

للحق وارهب صدمة القهار

Never! You are on the brink of an abyss, so beware

Of the truth and fear the blow of the Almighty.

واحفظ بنا سرَّ الغيوب فإننا

من فوق وهمك أهل سرٍ ساري

And keep our hidden secret, for we

Are, above your illusion, people of an ongoing mystery.

كتبت بطاقة سعدنا غيباً على

رقِّ العناية قبل ذي الآثار

The card of our happiness was written secretly on

The parchment of Providence before the one with traces.

قلم الإله اجاد شكلة حرفها

فسرت بنسج مواهب الجبارِ

The pen of God gracefully created its letters,

So it flowed with weaving the talents of the Compeller.

هتفت به الأملاك في رفف العلى

وتنزَّلت بالعز للمختارِ

The angels acclaimed it in the shelves of the Highest,

And it descended with glory for the Chosen One.

وبنا انجلت من واحدِ عن واحدٍ

حتى البطين الأنزع الكرار

And through the One, from the One, we shone,

To the purest, most faithful core.

فالغوث منا والمواهب بحرها

أبداً لنا بطوى السعادة جاري

So salvation is from us, and the sea of talents

Is always flowing for us at the furthest happiness.

صح كيف شئت فأنت لقمة بطشنا

واخسأ فأنت معاند الأقدار

Think whatever you want, for you are a morsel for our grip,

And disobey, for you oppose fate.

ولنحن آل محمَّدٍ من فاطمٍ

أهلُ القولب وأهل عقبى الدار

While we are the family of Muhammad, from Fatima,

The people of legacy, and people of the abode of eternity.
