**1.** صَحَوْتُ عَنِ الْغِيْدِ الْحِسَانِ وَلاَ أَصْحُو / عَنِ الْمُصْطَفَى الْمُخْتَارِ مَنْ نَحْوَهُ أَنْحُو

_Ṣaḥawtu ‘an al-ghaydi al-ḥisāni wa lā aṣḥū / ‘An al-Muṣṭafā al-mukhtāri man naḥwahu anḥū_

I have sobered up from the distractions of fair maidens but I shall never sober up from the Chosen One toward whom I lean.

**2.** مَحَا عَنْ فُـؤَادِي كُلَّ غَيْرٍ وَإِنَّـــــــهُ / يُثَبِّتُ فِيهِ الْحَقَّ وَالْحَقُّ لاَ يَمْحُـــــــو

_Maḥā ‘an fu’ādī kulla ghayrin wa inna-hu / Yuthabbitu fīhi al-ḥaqqa wa al-ḥaqqu lā yamḥū_

He erased every "other" from my heart and indeed he establishes the Truth within it and the Truth is never erased.

**3.** فَإِنْ كَاثَرَ الْأَقْوَامُ أَكْثَرُهُـــــمْ بِـــهِ / فَبَيْعِي وَإِنْفَاقِي لَهُ الرَّأْسُ وَالرِّبْحُ

_Fa-in kāthara al-aqwāmu aktharuhum bihi / Fa-bay‘ī wa infāqī lahu al-ra’su wa al-ribḥu_

If the nations boast of their abundance then my selling and my spending for him are both the capital and the profit.

**4.** شِتَائِي وَصَيْفِي الدَّهْرَ ذِكْرُ مُحَمَّدٍ / فَيَنْجَحُ قَصْدِي نِعْمَ ذَلِكُمُ النَّجْـــحُ

_Shitā’ī wa ṣayfī al-dahru dhikru Muḥammadin / Fa-yanjahu qaṣdī ni‘ma dhālikumu al-najḥu_

My winter and my summer are forever the remembrance of Muhammad and thus my purpose succeeds—how excellent is that success.

**5.** حَبَانِي مُرَادِي فِيهِ نَهْجًا مُقَوَّمًــــــا / سَيَأْتِيهِ مِنِّي الْمَدْحُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ الْمَدْحُ

_Ḥabānī murādī fīhi nahjan muqawwaman / Sayā’tīhi minnī al-madḥu min ba‘dihi al-madḥu_

He granted me my desire through an upright path and so praise after praise shall reach him from me.

**6.** أُحَسِّنُ طِرْسِي بِالصِّفَـاتِ صِفَاتِـــهِ / وَلِي مِقْوَلٌ فِي الْمُصْطَفَى لَسِنٌ قُحُّ

_Uḥassin ṭirsī bi-al-ṣifāti ṣifātihi / Wa lī miqwālun fī al-Muṣṭafā lasin quḥḥu_

I beautify my parchment with his attributes and I possess a tongue that is eloquent and pure in praising the Chosen One.

**7.** وَمَا ذَا عَلَى بَرْهَامَ يُثْنِي عَلَيْكَ يَا / مُحَمَّدُ عَيْنَ الْمَدْحِ يَا مَنْ لَهُ الْفَتْحُ

_Wa mā dhā ‘alā Barhāma yuthnī ‘alayka yā / Muḥammadu ‘ayna al-madḥi yā man lahu al-fatḥu_

What is there to blame Barham for in praising you O Muhammad—the very essence of praise—O you who possess the Opening?

**8.** صَفَائِي وَأُنْسِي إِنْ خَلَوْتُ لِذِكْـرِهِ / وَمَنْ رَامَ تَأْنِيسَ الْمُحِبِّ لَهُ الْوَيْحُ

_Ṣafā’ī wa unsī in khalawtu li-dhikrhi / Wa man rāma ta’nīsa al-muḥibbi lahu al-wayḥu_

My purity and my intimacy are found when I am alone in his remembrance and woe to anyone who tries to distract the lover.

**9.** صَلاَةٌ وَتَسْلِيمٌ عَلَى خَيْــرِ هَاشِـــمٍ / وَآلٍ وَأَصْحَابٍ بِهَا يَجْتَلِي الرُّوحُ

_Ṣalātun wa taslīmun ‘alā khayri Hāshim / Wa ālin wa aṣḥābin bihā yajtali al-rūḥu_

Blessings and peace be upon the best of the Hashimites and the family and companions through which the soul finds clarity.
