O the encompassing righteousness

Who are You, then?

Where are You, Our Garden’s flower?

Lily did not show You in a thousand languages

Lily told me not to ask her expect for prayer and praise

The tall cypress cannot be as elevated

If Daffodil had eyes, he could have never seen You

People and monsters are lined up in every corner to see You

Nonetheless, they are not allowed to Your tavern

I seek my survival in Your compassion

Am I ever deceived by the material world?

I used to have thousands of dreams

Yet Your love made them null for me

You are my comfort upon my suffering

You are my treasure upon my poverty

I’m prostrating and praying to You

Saying that Your love is everything for me

The sound of love is reaching us from left and right

We’re ascending toward God

Who wants to behold this?

We used to live in heaven

As the companions of the angels

We’ll return to our city

We are pure as the gem, not compared to the dust

What we are doing here, let’s pack our belongings and go

Our luck is still young and death is our profession

Our leader is Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
