أبا الأنبياء عليك الصلاة عليك السلام أبا الأنبياء
O’ Father of the Prophets (referring to the Prophet Ibrahim) May the blessings and the peace be up on you, O’ Father of the Prophets
وقفت أصلي أمام المقام و في مقلتي السنا و السّناء
I stood to pray in front of your place of standing (Maqām Ibrahim) and in my eyes there was elevation and brightness
و للبيت ملئ جناني جلال و نشوة وجد و وجد انتشاء
And for the Holy Masjid, my heart is filled with dignity, ecstasy of love and euphoric
يلازمني راكعاً ساجداً و يكحل عيني منه البهاء
This feeling is accompanied me while I am kneeling down in prostration and from it, my eyes is ornamented with glory
تألقت الآي في ثوبه تمدّ النجوم العلا بالضيــاء
The verses fluoresced in his cloths to provide the highest stars with luminescence
و للناس من حوله زحمة توثق بين ذويها الإخاء
And people around it (refers to Maqām Ibrahim) are crowded and through their gathering it strengthens the meaning of brotherhood.
مباركة القصد تسعى إلى رضى الله مفعمة بالرجاء
With a blessed destination seeking the satisfaction of Allah while filled with hope
و كانت تراودني ذكريات تلامع فيها وجوه وضاء
And I have been enticed by memories of shining glorified faces
على أنني في هُيام السجود يحلّق بي في عنان السماء
During the adoration of prostration, I have been flying in the highest sky
فكنت أطوف و كانت تطوف و كان التجلّي و كان الدّعاء
I roamed and you have roamed and there were transfiguration and prayers
و أُنسيت نفسي و غاب زماني و غاب مكاني و غاب الثواء
And I have been made to forget myself and my time, my place and death got absent
تجنّح قلبي و أصعد يسمو فردت الفضاء و جزت الفضاء
For my heart got wings and transcended higher through the space
و بت و كلّ كيانيَ ومض كأنيَ روح سخيّ العطاء
And I slept and all my being is shining as if I was a generous giving soul
و مال عليّ أخ يبتغي مكاني يقول أطلت البكاء
And a brother lean on me, he wanted my place, he said that I have increased the weeping
فجلت برأسي و سألت نفسي أهذا أنا يا غباء الذكاء
So I raised my head and I asked myself, is that me, O’ You stupid who thinks that you are smart.
أراني كأني من النور خلق جديد و لست بطين و ماء
I have felt like I have been recreated from light and not mud and water anymore.
و قمت على قدمي نسمتين صفياً يهيم مع الأصفياء
And I stood on my feet as I was a chosen one between chosen friends (as he felt special after this spiritual journey)
و عاودت ذاتي رويدا رويدا و كان أناي حبيس الإناء
And I restored myself slowly as if my patience is a prisoner inside vessel
سكون الدجى و عرام الشجى و نار العناء و برد الصفاء
The tranquility of the night, and the wildness of mournful, and the fire of suffering and the coldness of serenity
و راجعت ما كان من غابري و من حاضري فاعتراني الحياء
And I restored (by memory) what I have done in my past and in my present so I felt ashamed
I don't think I miss things. I think to miss something is to hope that it will come back, but it's not coming back.
