My heart became radiant
My heart is illuminated
Since the beloved ones alighted in it.
Since the beloved came to dwell in it

لمَّا إِليهمْ تنبَّهْ
And my gaze grew serene
And my eyes shine brighter
When it turned its attention toward them.
When I become aware of their presence

And the seed of love yielded,
The pearl of love has given me
Through nearness, seventy seeds.
Seventy fold love through nearness

I am present when absent from them
Such are the ways of love.
