مُنيَتي طيبة لا أَبغي سواها

فَبِها الحسنُ لِعمري قد تَناهى

My death will be good, I want no other

With it, beauty for my life has reached its peak

كيفَ أَنساها وأَسلو حبّها

بَعدما قَد خالَط الروحَ هواها

How can I forget it and move on from its love

After it has mingled with my soul's passion

لا أُطيلُ الشرح أقصى مُنيتي

أَن أَراها وأُرى تحت ثراها

I won't elaborate, my utmost wish

Is to see it and be under its soil

لَو تأمّلنا بحقٍّ أَرضها

لَرأيناها جِباهاً وشفاها

If we contemplated its land in truth

We'd see it as brows and lips

فاقتِ الدنيا سناءً وسناً

بحبيبِ اللَّه خيرِ الخلق طهَ

The world gained glory and years

Through God's beloved, the best of people, Taha

صاحب المعراجِ سرّ اللَّه في

خلقهِ أعلى الورى قدراً وجاها

The companion of the Ascension, God's secret in

His creation, highest of humans in rank and status

خَصّه اللَّه بأعلى رتبةٍ

خفضَ الخلقَ جميعاً فعلاها

God granted him the highest position

And lowered all others under him

قَد رَوى عن ذاتِ مولاهُ الهدى

وَبلا كيفٍ ولا كمّ رآها

He narrated from his Lord's essence guidance

And saw it without how or how much

رِحلةٌ نالَ بها كلّ المنى

وبهِ الأفلاكُ قَد نالت مناها

A journey in which he attained all wishes

And through it the heavens attained their wishes

قدرةُ الرحمنِ لا حدّ لها

مُنتهى كلّ كمالٍ مُبتداها

The Power of the Merciful has no limit

The origin of all perfection is its endpoint
