1. يا روضة النفح بنَور الورود

    من حضرة الفتح بنُور الشهود

    O garden of fragrance, with rose blossoms,

    from the presence of spiritual opening, with the light of witnessing.

  2. يا حبّذا ذاك الشذا

    إذ يندي بالوَرد والوِرد

    Oh, how lovely is that fragrance,

    as it grows dewy with roses and the devotional litany.

  3. ريح الصبا رنّح لين القدود

    فتنثني بمعطفٍ كالخرود

    The east wind has made the supple figures sway,

    so they bend at the waist like a bashful maiden.

  4. فاعجب لغصن النقا

    بالقدّ والعقد والبرد

    So marvel at the branch of the sand dune,

    with its figure, necklace, and mantle.

  5. في روضة الذكر وورد الورود

    مراتع الظبي الغزال الشرود

    In the garden of remembrance and the roses' litany

    lie the grazing grounds of the antelope, the elusive gazelle.

  6. فارتع بها يا ذا البها

    بالوجد والكدّ والجدّ

    So graze there, O bearer of splendor,

    with ecstasy, toil, and earnestness.

  7. بُلبلُها من فوق تلك القدود

    يشدو من الغيب لعين الشهود

    Its nightingale, from above those figures,

    sings from the unseen to the witnessing eye.

  8. فاطرب على هذا الغنا

    بالورد والندّ بالوجد

    So be enraptured by this song,

    with roses and fragrant incense, with ecstasy.

  9. ليس سوى واحد في الوجود

    فاشهده واطلق حجاب القيود

    There is none but One in existence;

    so behold Him, and cast off the veil of bonds.

  10. جلّ تعالى ذو البقا

    عن عدّ أو حدّ أو ندّ

    Majestic and exalted is the Everlasting,

    beyond number, limit, or equal.

  11. نحمده وهو الغفور الودود

    فكم حبانا كلّ فضلٍ وجود

    We praise Him, and He is the All-Forgiving, the All-Loving;

    for how often He has granted us every grace and bounty,

  12. لا سيّما بالمصطفى

    إذ يهدي للرشد والحمد

    especially through the Chosen One,

    as he guides to right conduct and praise.

  13. صلّى عليه ما أضاء الوجود

    بنوره الماحي ظلام الجحود

    May God bless him as long as existence shines

    with his light, which effaces the darkness of denial,

  14. والآل والصحب الألى

    في المجد والسعد والقصد

    and his family and Companions, who

    abide in glory, felicity, and right purpose.
