يا بَصيراً إِلّا بِإِبصارِ كُتبي

يا بَصيراً إِلّا بِإِبصارِ كُتبي

وَجَواداً إِلّا بِرَدِّ جَوابي

وَجَواداً إِلّا بِرَدِّ جَوابي

O keen-sighted one, except in reading my letters,

O Seer, only through the vision of my books

And generous one, except in sending me a reply.

And Generous, only through the return of my answers

وَلَوَ اِنّي بَلَغتُ سُؤلي مِنَ الدَه

وَلَوَ اِنّي بَلَغتُ سُؤلي مِنَ الدَه

رِ لَوافَيتُهُ مَكانَ الكِتابِ

رِ لَوافَيتُهُ مَكانَ الكِتابِ

And had I attained my wish from Time,

And if my hopes had reached even farther

I would have come to him in place of the letter.

I would have met them in place of the scripture
