Translation:
Fa lâ tarda bi ghayri llâhi hibba
To none other than Allah give your Love,
Apart from Him, all things are nothing but pure mirage.
If you can receive some counsel, here is ours.
Ever absorbed in their Beloved are the People of Remembrance,
For none has life save those who are near to him.
From the truth, no veil separates them.
What then to them are the graces of paradise?
Passion has melted the servants of God; they have drunk,
And drink still, his wine preserved in eternity,
A draught that has carried them away from themselves.
If only you might take a sip from their cup!
It would be a means for you to draw near to us.
The good servant is the one who answers: “I am at Your service”,
To this call of God that we address to him.
