    أيها النازل في خيمات أنوار القلوب

    O you who rise from the dawning-place of the spheres of the unseen,

    O you who descend into the tents of the lights of hearts,

  2. يا ظاهر في قلبي

    ارفق بي

    O you who are manifest in my heart,

    Be gentle with me.

  3. نفحت ريحانة الأسرار من روض اللقا

    Be gentle with me.

  5. لي بنجد فالنقا فالسفح من وادي مِنى

    جيرة وجدي بهم يجلو عن القلب الكروب

    I have, in Najd, then al-Naqa, then the slope of Mina's valley,

    Neighbors—my longing for them sweeps sorrows from the heart.

    ارفق بي

    O you who are manifest in my heart,

    Be gentle with me.

  7. لا تلمني يا عذولي في هوى الغيد الحسان

    إن ديني واعتقادي بالذي خلف الجيوب

    Do not blame me, O my reproacher, for loving graceful, beautiful women;

    Indeed, my religion and belief are in the One behind the bosoms.

  8. يا ظاهر في قلبي

    ارفق بي

    O you who are manifest in my heart,

    Be gentle with me.

  9. وجه محبوبي تبدى فانمحى كل السوى

    واستوى مني على عرشي بلا مسِّ لغوب

    My beloved's face appeared, so all else was effaced;

    And from within me he settled upon my throne, untouched by weariness.

  10. يا ظاهر في قلبي

    ارفق بي

    O you who are manifest in my heart,

    Be gentle with me.

  11. كل من يعرض عنا هو في نار الجفا

    والذي يرغب فينا كفرت عنه الذنوب

    All who turn away from us are in the fire of estrangement;

    And whoever longs for us has his sins expiated.

    ارفق بي

    O you who are manifest in my heart,

    Be gentle with me.

  13. عشقنا العشق المصفى من تصاوير الورى

    فاشربوا يا قوم منه إنه في كل كوب

    Be gentle with me.

  15. يا نداماي رويداً سكر الكاس بنا

    وانثنى الكوب علينا وهو نشوان طروب

    O my drinking companions, gently—the winecup has grown drunk on us,

    And the cup swayed toward us, itself drunk and enraptured.

  16. يا ظاهر في قلبي

    ارفق بي

    O you who are manifest in my heart,

    Be gentle with me.

  17. إن صحوي بعد سكري هو صحوي في الهوى

    حيث شمس الذات مني ما لها عني غروب

    Indeed, my sobriety after my intoxication is my sobriety in love,

    Where the sun of the Essence shines from within me and never sets for me.

  18. يا ظاهر في قلبي

    ارفق بي

    O you who are manifest in my heart,

    Be gentle with me.

  19. وعلى طه صلاة الله مني والسلام

    كلما عبد الغني لذَّ لُهْ طعمُ اللبوب

    And upon Ta-Ha be God's blessing and peace from me,

    Whenever the taste of the kernels is sweet to Abd al-Ghani.

  20. يا ظاهر في قلبي

    ارفق بي

    O you who are manifest in my heart,

    Be gentle with me.
