    فَطارَت حمامات القُلوب مِن الحَبس

    Breezes of the Truth wafted from the realm of holiness,

    So the doves of hearts flew free of confinement.

  2. وَفاحَ عَبير الوَصل مِن ذَلِك الحمى

    صَباحاً وَلَكنا شَمَمناه مِن أَمس

    And the fragrance of union spread from that sanctuary

    In the morning—yet we had smelled it since yesterday.

    وَما هُوَ إِلا نَزع وَصفك وَالنَفس

    Brides of gnosis—so pay their bridal dower,

    And it is nothing but casting off your attributes and the self.

  5. وَإِياك وَالشرك الخَفي فَإِنَّهُ

    حِجاب لَدى الأَفراد عَن وحدة الجنس

    And beware of hidden idolatry, for it is

    A veil that hides the unity of kind from the solitary ones.

  6. وَدَع عَنكَ نَوع الغين فَالعين واحد

    إِلَيهِ تَوجه بِالبَصيرة وَالحس

    And cast off every kind of clouding, for the Essence is one;

    Turn toward Him with inner sight and the senses.

  7. وَخَل خَيال الفرق فَالجَمع مورد

    لأهل الهيام الشاربين مِن الكَأس

    And abandon the illusion of separation, for union is a watering place

    For those mad with love, who drink from the cup.

  8. فَما ثم إِلا واحد فاضَ جوده

    عَلى كُل ذَرات الوُجود بِلا لَبس

    For there is none but One, whose bounty has overflowed

    Upon all the atoms of existence, without ambiguity.

  9. تَوضأ بِماء الغَيب وَاغسل بسره

    عَن القَلب غين العَين أَو درن الرجس

    Perform ablution with the water of the unseen, and with its secret wash

    From the heart the clouding of the eye, or the grime of impurity.

  10. وَإِن كُنت مِن أَهل الحِجاب عَن اللقا

    تَيمم صَعيداً بِالبَراهين وَالدَرس

    And if you are among those veiled from the encounter,

    Perform dry ablution with earth, through proofs and study.

    لروحك معراج إِلى ذَلِكَ الكُرسي

    And pray the prayer of the gnostics, for it is

    An ascent for your spirit to that Seat.

  12. وَصم عَن سراه وَاعتكف في شُهوره

    وَحج إِلَيهِ تارك الجن وَالأُنس

    And fast from His night journey, and keep retreat during His months.

    And make pilgrimage to Him, leaving behind jinn and humankind.

  13. وَزك عَن الإِشراك أَعمالك الَّتي

    عَملت لِتجني بِاللقا ثَمر الغَرس

    And cleanse of idolatry those deeds of yours that

    You performed, to reap through the encounter the fruit of planting.

  14. وَسر في سُلوك القَوم وَاختر مؤدباً

    عَلى السنة الغراء وَالمنهج الأُنسي

    And journey on the path of the folk, and choose a tutor

    In keeping with the radiant Sunna and the path of intimacy.

    Your life in this world and your light in the grave.

  16. وَإِياك مِن شَطح الجهول وَقَوله

    أَنا اللَه جل اللَه ذو العَرش وَالكُرسي

    And beware the ignorant man's ecstatic excess and his saying:

    “I am God!” Exalted is God, possessor of the Throne and the Seat.

  17. وَلا فَوز إِلا باتباع مُحَمد

    نَبي الهُدى السامي عَلى العرب وَالفُرس

    And there is no salvation except through following Muhammad,

    The Prophet of guidance, exalted above Arabs and Persians.

  18. تمسك بِهِ وَاجعل شِعارك حبه

    وَكُن قابِضاً آثاره مِنكَ بِالخَمس

    Hold fast to him, and make love for him your emblem.

    And grasp his traces with all five fingers of yours.

  19. وَلازم طَريق العَيدروسي إنَّهُ

    هُوَ الشَمس فاحذر أَنتَ مِن عَمه الطمس

    And keep to the path of al-ʿAydarūsī, for indeed

    He is the sun: so beware of the blindness of effacement.

  20. بِهِ يَستَضيء السالِكون إِلى الهُدى

    كَما يَستضيء الناس في طَلعة الشَمس

    Through him the wayfarers toward guidance gain light,

    Is immense to those with inner sight and sense.

  22. وَأَوصافه تنبيك عَن شَرح حاله

    وَإن اسمه قَد خط في أَول الطرس

    And his qualities give you an account of his state,

    And indeed his name has been inscribed at the head of the parchment.

  23. فَكُن مُستَقيماً في سُلوك طَريقه

    وإياك مِن غش الغواية وَالعَكس

    So be upright in following his path,

    And beware of the deceit of misguidance and reversal.

  24. وَدَع معجباً بِالأَوليا متشبها

    فَأَين اصفِرار العَين مِن صُفرة الورس

    And leave the conceited man who mimics the saints:

    For how far the yellow of gold is from the yellow of wars-dye!

  25. فَكم مدع قَد ارتج الباب دونه

    وَأَصبح في قَيد الطبيعة وَالنفس

    For many a pretender has had the door shut against him,

    And has become fettered by nature and the self.

  26. وَكُن مُستعيناً بِالصَلاة عَلى الَّذي

    تَرقى بِلا ريب إِلى حضرة القُدس

    And seek aid by invoking blessings upon the one who

    Ascended, without doubt, to the presence of holiness.

    مَدى الدَهر ما قامَ البِناء عَلى الاس

    Upon him be God's blessing, offered to his grave,

    Throughout all time, as long as the building stands upon its foundation.

    قفوا إثرهم بِالأَخذ وَالحفظ وَالدَرس

    Likewise upon the Companions, the family, and those who

    Followed in their footsteps through learning, memorization, and study;

  29. وَباقي الشُيوخ الصالِحين وَمَن سَعى

    إِلى الحَق لَم يَجنح لِظَن وَلا حَدس

    And the other righteous shaykhs, and whoever strove

    Toward the Truth, without leaning on conjecture or guesswork.

  30. وَخص الهمام العَيدروسي مِنهُم

    بِرَحمَتك الكُبرى تباكر أَو تمسي

    And single out among them the noble al-ʿAydarūsī

    With Your greatest mercy, coming morning or evening.
