ومِن محاريبِها أنقى تراويحي
From the loneliness of the hours, I reaped my praise of God,
My soul longs for him whenever his life story comes to my mind. So my Lord bless him whenever I think of him. I gathered my glorifications from the solitude of time and my purest nocturnal prayers from its sanctuaries. Praise be to God! I found company in His presence and the best object of praise in the love of my heart.
And from their prayer niches, my purest Tarawih prayers.

And in my heart’s love for the best of those praised.
