1. يا وجودي إنني الصورة لكْ

    أنت قد صورتها وهي ملكْ

    O my Being, I am Your form.

    You have fashioned it, and it is an angel.

  2. شهد الحق ولم يشهد سوى

    أنه الشاهد سوَّى وملك

    It witnessed the Real, and witnessed nothing but

    that He is the Witness, who fashioned and ruled.

  3. صورتي فعل له وهو الذي

    صاغها من عدم رب الفلك

    My form is an act of His, and He is the one

    who fashioned it from nothing, the Lord of the celestial sphere.

  4. وكذا الأشياء طراً قل كذا

    حكمها شرعاً لمن قد سألك

    And likewise all things, without exception; say, 'Such is

    their ruling under sacred law,' to whoever has asked you.

  5. يا ابنة العزِّ إلى كم شغفي

    أي يوم يعدم النور الحلك

    O daughter of glory, how long will my passion last?

    On what day will light annihilate the darkness?

  6. وأنا تلك كما تلك أنا

    وهما الواحد والإثنان لك

    And I am she, just as she is I;

    and for You, they are the one and the two.

  7. قلت لما هي قالت لي وقد

    غلَّقت أبوابها لي هيت لك

    I said, when she said to me, having already

    bolted her doors for me, 'Come to me!'

  8. ومعاذ الله قولي عندما

    ظهرت لي غيرها خذ أملك

    (and 'God forbid!' is my reply whenever

    someone other than her appears to me), 'Take what you hope for.'

  9. وبدا برهان ربي ظاهراً

    واختفت أغياره عمن سلك

    And my Lord's proof appeared plainly,

    and all besides Him vanished from whoever trod the path.

  10. جل ربي وتعالى فز به

    يا رفيقي وتدارك من هلك

    Majestic and exalted is my Lord; triumph through Him,

    O my companion, and rescue whoever has perished.

  11. هذه الغفلة نارٌ أوقدت

    فاطفِها بالذكر واسبق أجلك

    This heedlessness is a fire that has been kindled;

    so quench it with remembrance, and outrun your appointed end.
