   يارباه يا غوثاه يا مولانا
   O Lord! O Succour, Our Master!

   ايا روضة العشاق قد هيجتي مهجتي
   O Garden of the Lovers, You have stirred up my flames

   ايا حضرة الاطلاق فيضتي صبابتي
   O Presence of the Absolute, You have made my longing overflow

   ياخليلي قل الله وحده في الكثرة
   O friend, Say God, alone, in multiplicity

   لاترى ماسوى الله في كل كائنة
   Do not see other than God in all that exists

   يارباه يا غوثاه يا مولانا
   O Lord! O Succor, Our Master!

   إخلع نعليك وافن ان شئت ملاقاتي

   سقتني كأس الهوى من طيب الخميرتي
   You gave me to drink of the cup of desire from the goodness of the ferment

   جلوت به السوى عن نور البصيرتي
   And by it you polished all else from the light of my inner vision
