مَا نَبَا سَيْفِي وَلا دَهْرِي أَبَى

مُذْ تَخِذْتُ اللَّهَ فَذًّا مَأْرَبَا

My sword has never failed me, nor has fate opposed me,

since I made God alone my single desire.

وَتَوَجَّهْتُ إِلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ

أَرْمُقُ العَرْشَ، وَتَقْدِيسِي رَبَا

And I turned toward His Seat—His Kursi—

gazing upon the Throne as my glorification rose,

مُسْلِمًا جِسْمِي وَرُوحِي لِلسَّنَا

وَخَلايَايَ تَعِيشُ الطَّرَبَا

surrendering my body and my spirit to the radiance,

while every cell of mine lives the rapture.

غَمَرَ الأَكْوَانَ بِالنَّشْوَةِ فِي

لَيْلَةِ القَدْرِ، سُمُوًّا مُجْتَبَى

It flooded all the worlds with ecstasy on

the Night of Decree, in a chosen ascent.

وَتَجَلَّى النُّورُ فِي قَلْبِي رِضًا

فَاضَ إِنْعَامًا.. وَأَسْدَى وَحَبَا

And the Light manifested in my heart as contentment,

then overflowed in bounty... conferred and bestowed.
