داسَ الحَبيبُ شُعاعَ الشّمسِ حينَ مَشى

داسَ الحَبيبُ شُعاعَ الشّمسِ حينَ مَشى

وَغَيرهُ كانَ يَمشي فَوقَ دَيجورِ

وَغَيرهُ كانَ يَمشي فَوقَ دَيجورِ

The beloved trod on the sun’s radiance as he walked;

The beloved trod upon the sunbeam when he walked

While everyone else walked over pitch darkness.

While others walked upon the ground's obscurity

وَعَنهُمُ الشّمس قَد أَخفَت أَشِعّتها

وَعَنهُمُ الشّمس قَد أَخفَت أَشِعّتها

فَغَير ما داسَ مِنهُ غير مَنظورِ

فَغَير ما داسَ مِنهُ غير مَنظورِ

And the sun had hidden its rays from them,

And from them the sun hid its rays

So all of it, except what he trod on, was unseen.

So that none could see what he trod but that which shone

فَقُلت للَّه درُّ الشّمس قَد فُرشت

فَقُلت للَّه درُّ الشّمس قَد فُرشت

للحِبِّ مَكرمةً بُسْطاً مِنَ النّورِ

للحِبِّ مَكرمةً بُسْطاً مِنَ النّورِ

So I said, “How splendid the sun! It has been spread

So I said: God - the sun's light was spread out

For the beloved, in his honor, as carpets of light.”

As an honor to love, a carpet of light
