دعا الناس محي الدين عارفُ وقته
به حيث يدعوه لحضرة ربّه
Mohiuddin Arabi called people in his time
To come to the presence of their Lord whenever he called them.
فمن ذا الّذي لم يستجب ثمّ يقتفي
بمفرد أهل الله في بعض كتبه
Who then refused to follow
The saints of God mentioned in some of his books?
وصيّره ربّي لكلّ محقّقٍ
حقيقة حقٍّ قد دعاه لقربه
My Lord made him for every realizer of truth
A true truth he called them to come near to.
أجيبوا له يا قومنا حيث قد غدا
إماماً فيا طوبى له ولحزبه
Respond to him, O my people, wherever he goes,
As a leader - blessed is he and his party!
