نهن على حين ارتقيت اللياليا

وقدت الأماني حافلات كما هيا

They blamed me when I climbed the nights

And lit the hopes as they are

وكم مدة حتى استدريت ضرعها

وكم قلق حتى اطمأنيت راضيا

And how long did I know its udder

And how much anxiety until I was satisfied

حمدنا لك اللّه ارتياحا لفضله

كثيرا واكثرنا هناك التهانيا

We praised you, O God, to comfort His grace

A lot and we increased congratulations there

وباللّه قل لي بعد ذا الحظ كله

اهنيك جهدي ام اعزى الاعاديا

And by God, tell me after all this luck

Do I congratulate my effort or console the enemies

هم ابصروا من غرسك الغصن مثمرا

وما كان من غرس لهم صار فاويا

They saw the branch bearing fruit from your planting

And there was nothing planted for them that turned desolate

فهبت سموم من لظى نظراتهم

إليه فكان اللّه إذ ذاك واقيا

So the poisons of their fiery glances blew

To it, and God was its protector then

على ابنك عين اللّه من كل حاسد

وليس يبيج اللّه ما كان حاميا

May God protect your son from every envious person

And God does not let wither what He was preserving

ولا زلت تاج العارفين إلى العلا

كما شئت او شاءت مساعيك راقيا

And you are still the crown of the gnostics to the supreme

As you wished or as your efforts ascended

ولا عصفت ريح بما انت غارس

ولا صدع التفريق ما كنت بانيا

And no wind blew what you planted

Nor did separation crack what you were building
