إِنَّ للهِ في العبادِ رِجالاً

قَدْ صَفَوْا منْ شوَائِبِ التَّكْديرِ

Indeed God has among His servants men

Who have been purified from the turbidities of worries,

خَصَّهُمْ خالِقُ الخلائِق بالعِلْ

مِ ببَعْضِ الأمُورِ بالتَّنويرِ

The Creator of all creatures has granted them knowledge,

Enlightening them about some matters.

طَالَمَا قَدْ طَلَبْتُ لُقْياءَ فَرْدٍ

مِنْهُمُ سائِلاً لرَبٍّ قَديرِ

I have long sought to meet one of them,

Asking of my Lord, the All Powerful,

يا إلَهِي اُمنُنْ بِفَرْدٍ منَ الْقَوْ

مِ لِتَحْليلِ بَعْضِ ما في ضَمِيري

My God, endow me with one of those people

To resolve some of what is in my conscience.
