1. أَمَلِي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا تَأَتِّي خَلْوَةٍ

    فِي مَنْزلٍ بَادٍ خَصِيبِ الْجَانِبِ

    My hope from this world is the chance for solitude

    in a dwelling in the open country, fertile on every side.

  2. أُذْكِي بِهِ زَنْدَ الْقِرَاءَةِ وَالْقِرَى

    رَحْبُ الْجنَابِ لِطَارقٍ أَوْ طَالِبِ

    There I kindle the flame of reading and hospitality,

    with room for a visitor or a seeker,

  3. حَتَّى أَلاَقي اللهَ لَمْ تَصْرِفْنِي ال

    أَوْهَامُ عَنْهُ بِشَاغِلٍ أَوْ شَاغِبٍ

    until I meet God, without being turned away by the

    fancies that distract me from Him or cause disturbance.
