صِناعَتي باللّطفِ لا بالقوى

صِناعَتي باللّطفِ لا بالقوى

وَسَقطتي لا يُرج فيها دوا

وَسَقطتي لا يُرج فيها دوا

My craft depends on finesse, not strength.

My work is through gentleness, not force

And for my fall, no cure is to be hoped for.

My fall cannot be remedied

أدركتُ غاياتِ العُلا صاعداً

أدركتُ غاياتِ العُلا صاعداً

شأني عَجَباً واستوى

شأني عَجَباً واستوى

I reached the loftiest heights, ascending.

I attained the heights rising high

My state was a marvel, and it became steady.

My state became wondrous and balanced

خفّةُ جسمِ طارَ منْ لَطفه

خفّةُ جسمِ طارَ منْ لَطفه

سُبحانَ مَن يُمسكني في الهوا

سُبحانَ مَن يُمسكني في الهوا

The lightness of a body that flew because of its delicacy.

The lightness of a body that flew by its refinement

Glory be to the One who holds me in the air.

Glory to Him who holds me in the air
