يا ربّ غصنُ وجودي أنت غارسُهُ
فماد في روضة التوحيد مائسُهُ
O Lord, the branch of my existence You have planted
So it has flourished in the garden of oneness
سقيته ماءَ فيض من عطاك فهل
ترى يبدّل بعد الغصّ يابسه
You have watered it with the water of Your bounty, so will
You see it change after being a fresh branch, O Lord?
حاشاك ربّي وقد ربّيتَه فربا
وأنت في روضة الأذكار حارسه
Never, my Lord, for You have nurtured it, so it grew
And You are in the garden of remembrance its keeper
فكم عليه صبا الأسحار هبّ وكم
حلّته أنفاسه منها نفائسه
So many dawns have poured upon it, and how many
Precious breaths have descended on it and blessed it
