He saw it blaze upon my crown on the path of right guidance;
I saw the path of righteousness where my ambitions ignited
So he kindled torches above my head.
So it lit flames above my head
يخُطُّhe traces بهwith it راءًthe letter rāʾ لَدَىbeside كلِّeach شَعْرةٍhair
يخُطُّ به راءً لَدَى كلِّ شَعْرةٍ
تُنَفِّرdrives away عنيfrom me كلَّevery مَنone who كانwas وَاصِلاَkeeping company
تُنَفِّر عني كلَّ مَن كان وَاصِلاَ
With it he traces a rāʾ beside each hair,
It draws an opinion with every hair
Driving away from me everyone who once kept me company.
That deters all who came near
