أبا محمدٍ المكسوَّ نُورَ علاً

أبا محمدٍ المكسوَّ نُورَ علاً

لم يَكْسُهُ اللهُ شمساً ولا قمرا

لم يَكْسُهُ اللهُ شمساً ولا قمرا

O Abu Muhammad, clothed in a light of eminence

O Abu Muhammad, you who are clothed in light

with which God has clothed neither sun nor moon:

Allah has not clothed you with sun or moon

هَبْكَ استترتَ للا معنىً فخيرُكَ يا

هَبْكَ استترتَ للا معنىً فخيرُكَ يا

من كان بالخيرِ مسروراً لم استترا

من كان بالخيرِ مسروراً لم استترا

Suppose you hid for no reason; but your bounty, O

It is as if you have concealed from Allah a meaning, so the best thing for you, O you who rejoice in good, is not to conceal

you who delighted in doing good—why has it hidden itself?

Just as you have hidden from my eyes, so you are not seen

كما تغيَّبْتَ عن عيني فلستَ تُرى

كما تغيَّبْتَ عن عيني فلستَ تُرى

كذا تغيَّبَ عن عيني فليسَ يُرى

كذا تغيَّبَ عن عيني فليسَ يُرى

Just as you vanished from my sight and are not seen,

So has He who made a pact with me that nothing

so it too vanished from my sight and is not seen.

Of what I was promised will accrue to me hidden from my eyes, so he is not seen

مَنْ كان بَايَعَ أني ليسَ يحصلُ لي

مَنْ كان بَايَعَ أني ليسَ يحصلُ لي

مما وَعِدْتُ به شيء فقد قَمَرا

مما وَعِدْتُ به شيء فقد قَمَرا

Whoever wagered that I would not receive

anything of what I was promised has indeed won his wager.
