1. أَمَرَ اللَهُ أَن يُطيعَكَ لُبّي

    حينَ وَلاّكَ أَمرَ جِسمي وَقَلبي

    God commanded that my mind obey you

    when He entrusted you with the affairs of my body and my heart.

  2. لَم أَقُل ذاكَ عَن ضَلالٍ وَلَكِن

    أَنتَ رَوحي وَالروحُ مِن أَمرِ رَبّي

    I did not say that out of error, but

    you are my soul, and the soul is of my Lord’s command.

  3. يا سَمِيَّ النَبِيِّ في سورَةِ الصَف

    فِ وَمَن بِاِسمِهِ تُشَرَّفُ كُتُبي

    O namesake of the Prophet in Surah al-Saff,

    and you by whose name my writings are honored,

  4. أَنتَ حَسبي مِن كُلِّ مَن وَطِئَ الأَر

    ضَ وَحَسبي بِأَنَّ مِثلَكَ حَسبي

    you suffice me among all who have trodden the earth,

    and it is enough for me that one like you suffices me.
