رفع الآله مقامَ إبراهيما
فشفى به سقمي وأبرأ هيما
God raised Ibrahim’s station.
Through him He healed my sickness and cured my lovesickness.
والقلب مأواه وقد أمسى به
للحبّ دوماً جنّةً ونعيما
The heart is his dwelling, and through him it has become
forever a garden and a delight for love.
وكؤوس أنسي من مدامة حبّه
تجلَى وبات مزاجها تسنيما
The cups of my companionship, filled with the wine of his love,
shone forth, their mixture becoming Tasnim.
وأراه في قلبي ينادمني كما
ذكراه أصبح للسان نديما
I see him in my heart, sharing my cup, just as
his memory has become my tongue’s companion.
إن غاب عن عينيّ مرأى ذاته
فأراه في الأحشاء كان مقيما
If the sight of him is absent from my eyes,
I see him dwelling deep within me.
هذا المقام مقام إبراهيم مَن
فيه غدا قلب المحبّ حطيما
This is the Station of Ibrahim, where
the lover’s heart was shattered.
قد شاقه هذا المقام فزمزم ال
قلبَ المشوق بذكره تفخيما
This station stirred his longing, and the yearning
heart murmured his name in exaltation.
وإليه حجّ وصام عمّا دونه
وإليه صلّى بالدعا تسليما
To him he made pilgrimage and fasted from all besides him;
toward him he prayed with supplication and surrender.
في القلب إبراهيم وهو خليله
أمسى به خضر الوداد كليما
Ibrahim is in the heart, its intimate friend;
through him, the Khidr of love became a confidant.
فهو النعيم لجنّة القلب الّذي
للِقاه طار مهيّماً تهييما
He is the delight of the heart’s garden, which
flew toward meeting him, rapt with longing.
فعسى تراه عين صبٍّ جفنها
قد بات من فرط البعاد سقيما
May a lover’s eye behold him, though its eyelid
has grown sick from prolonged separation.
وبه بدا روض الحشا يخضرّ من
لقياه إذ بالبين عاد هشيما
Through him the garden of my inmost heart grows green upon
meeting him, after separation had left it withered.
والصدر مشروحٌ برؤية طلعةٍ
كالبدر نال من البها تتميما
My breast opens at the sight of a face
like the full moon, complete in beauty.
وأراه في فلك الكمال من العلا
والنجم دون مقام إبراهيما
I see him in the lofty sphere of perfection,
with the stars below Ibrahim’s station.
حيث الهواتف في الحشا هتفت ببش
راه بمرقى في السعود جسيما
There, voices within me cried out with glad
tidings of a mighty rise in fortune.
وسيرتقي من فوق هذا رتبةً
وينال عزّاً في الوجود عظيما
He will rise still higher in rank
and attain great honor in the world.
قد قلت ذا من هاتفٍ في مهجتي
لا طالع راقبتهُ تنجيما
I said this because of a voice within my heart,
not because I watched a star to tell fortunes.
كذب المنجّم والمصدق قوله
وكفى بمولانا الإله عليما
The astrologer lied, and so did the one who believed him;
God, our Lord, is sufficient in knowledge.
فالله يعلي قدره ومقامه
حتى يرى السعد الكبير خديما
God will raise his standing and his station
until even great fortune serves him.
بنظام دولته السعيدة من غدت
عقداً فريداً بالسعود نظيما
Through the order of his fortunate realm, which has become
a singular necklace strung with blessings.
