بَرقُ نُعمانَ عَلى الهائِمِ طَل

فَنَفَى عَن جِسمِهِ كُلَّ العِلَل

The lightning of Nu'man flashed over the wanderers

So it dispelled from his body all illness

وأَراهُ مِن ثَنِيَّاتِ اللِّوى

آيَةً جَلَّت بها يُمحى الوَجَل

And showed him, from the bending places of encampment

A portent through which dread is erased

فَبَكى عَن فَرَحٍ مُستَبشِراً

رُبَّ دَمعٍ لِسُرورٍ قَد هَطَل

So he wept from gladness, receiving good news

Many a tear falls for joy

وَتَداعى بِهيام كُلُّهُ

بَعدَ أن مَلَّ مِنَ الهَجرِ وَكَل

And all his yearning flocked together

After he was done with estrangement and weariness

يَسَّرَ اللَهُ تعالى المُرتَجى

وَصَلَ المَقطُوعَ والحَبلُ اتَّصَل

God Most High made easy the longed-for

And joined the cut and the rope connected

وَتَوالَت نَسمَةُ القُربِ فَلا

يُختَشَى البَأسُ إِذ القَصدُ حَصَل

And wafted was a breeze of nearness, so

Dread is not feared since the quest is achieved

خَلَقَ اللَهُ مِنَ الخَوفِ الرَجا

هَكَذا آياتُهُ عَزَّ وَجَل

God created from fear, hope

Thus His signs, Mighty and Exalted
