بِذِكري لَكَ اللَهُمَّ أَرجو تَفَضُّلا

لِعَبدِكَ منك الذِكرُ في حَضرَةِ العُلا

With my remembrance of You, O Allah, I hope for grace

For Your servant, remembrance from You in the abode of sublimity

وَوَعدُكَ رَبّي في اِذكُروني مُحَقَّقٌ

بِقَولِكَ أَذكُركُم كِتاباً مُنَزَّلا

And Your promise, my Lord, in "Remember Me and I will remember you" is fulfilled

With Your word "Remember Me and I will remember you," a revealed scripture

وَوَعدُكَ صِدقٌ مُنجَزٌ غَيرَ مُخلَفٍ

لِذاكِرِكَ المَذكورِ عِندَكَ في المَلا

And Your promise is true, carried out, not unfulfilled

For the one remembering You, the Remembered, in Your presence on high

إِلَهي لِنورِ الحَقِّ نَوِّر بَصيرَتي

بِمِروَدِ كحلِ الذِكرِ مِن إِثمدِ الجَلا

My God, for the light of Truth, illuminate my inner sight

With kohl of remembrance from the darkness of heedlessness

إِلَهِيَ فَاِجعَلهُ لِقَلبي وِقايَةً

لآمَنَ مِن مَرأى السوى إِذ هُوَ البَلا

My God, make it for my heart a protection

That I may be safe from seeing evil, for it is ruin

إِلَهي بِهِ فَاِجلُ صَدا القَلبِ كَي يَرى

تَجلي جَمالِ الوَجهِ في القَلبِ يُجتَلى

My God, through it remove the echo of caprice so my heart can see

The epiphany of the beauty of the Face reflected within

وَيَشهَدُ مِنّي سِرَّ كَونِكَ سَيِّدي

جَلِيّاً مَعَ التَنزيهِ بَل عَنهُ قَد عَلا

And it may witness the secret of Your being, my Master

Manifest, though transcendent - indeed, exalted above that

إِلَهي بِأَهلِ الذِكرِ في المَشهَدِ الَّذي

بِحَضرَتِكَ الزُلفى حِجابُ السوى جَلا

My God, by the people of remembrance in the assemblage wherein

In Your proximate presence the veil of caprice is lifted

إِلَهي بِما ذاقوا مِنَ المَشرَبِ الَّذي

هُوَ المَنهَلُ الأَصفى وَمَورِدُهُ حَلا

My God, by what they tasted of the drink which

Is the purest spring, its source but grace

أَذِقني شَرابَ الذِكرِ في حَضرَةِ الصَفا

بِمَختومِ كَأسٍ بِالسَعادَةِ أَوّلا

Give me to drink the draught of remembrance in the presence of purity

In a cup sealed first with felicity
