1. يَأتي الرِسولُ إِلى البَعيدِ مِنَ ال

    بَعيدِ مُخَبِّرا

    The messenger comes to the distant one from the

    distant one, bringing news.

  2. وَأَراكَ أَدنى مِن رِسو

    لِكَ في الفُؤادِ وَأَظهَرا

    And I see you nearer than your messen-

    ger in the heart, and more manifest.

  3. ما عَنكَ عَبَّرَ لي وَلَكِ

    ن عَنهُ كُنتُ مُعَبِّرا

    He did not speak to me of you, bu-

    t I was speaking of him.

  4. فَعَرَّفتَهُ بِكَ إِذ بَدا

    نوراً لَدَيكَ مُنَوِّرا

    So I made him known through you when he appeared

    as a light, shining in your presence.

  5. وَبِنورِهِ عَرَفتَني

    مِن أَينَ أَنشَأتَ الوَرى

    And by his light you recognized me.

    From where did you bring all beings into existence?
