1. تَتَالَتْ      دَقَائِقُهُ      مُطْمَئِنَّهْ

    وَفَرَّتْ وَمَرَّتْ  كَبَرْقِ  الأَسِنَّهْ

    Its minutes followed one another in peace,

    And fled and passed like the flash of spearheads.

  2. لَهُ     وَقْعُهُ      وَلَهُ      لَمْعُهُ

    أَفَانِينُ:  فَيْضٌ  وَفَرْضٌ  وَسُنَّهْ

    It has its impact, and it has its gleam.

    Varied forms: outpouring, obligation, and Prophetic tradition.

  3. وَكُلٌّ     وَهِمَّتُهُ      وَالتَّجَلِّي

    مَشَاعٌ،   وَلِلَّهِ   فَضْلٌ    وَمِنَّهْ

    And each has his aspiration; divine manifestation

    is open to all; to God belong bounty and grace.

  4. فَمَنْ  كَانَ   فِي   قَلْبِهِ   نُورُهُ

    سَمَا  وَنَمَا  فِي  لَيَالِي  المَظِنَّهْ

    So whoever had His light within his heart

    rose and grew in the nights of expectation.

  5. وَمَنْ كَانَ فِي القَلْبِ دَيْجُورُهُ

    سَأَلْنَا لَهُ اللَّهَ  كَشْفَ  الدُّجُنَّهْ

    And whoever had his darkness within the heart,

    we asked God to lift the gloom for him.
