Reading from the words of the poet: “To Allah is a visitor by night who did not hide… until his saying… the remembrance of the Beloved and the nearness of His connection”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: “To Allah is a visitor by night who did not hide *** The prince’s stealth and the jailer’s watch
She crossed the lands of Sham, then turned toward *** The rising of faith from the land of Taybah
And she passed through the Wadi 'Aqiq and crossed *** Its miqat, pure without denial
And she passed through the Wadi al-Arak, and it was not *** Her intention, so let it be an omen that I am veiled from her
And she passed through 'Arafah, then Masha'r, *** And Mina, so how many sacrifices have I slaughtered there
And she passed through the Jamarat, then turned toward *** The one with the veils and the mistress of the pillars
This, and she did not circumambulate, nor touch the Black Stone, nor *** Throw the pebbles, nor walk for qiran
And she climbed to the top of al-Safa and turned toward *** A house there for the second caller”
The Shaykh : For the caller in distress
The student: For the caller in distress
The Shaykh : ... the caller ...
The reader: “And she climbed to the top of al-Safa and turned toward *** A house there for the caller in distress
Do you see the guide lend her his garments? *** And the wind gave her of its fluttering
By Allah, if the guide were in her place *** That would not have been possible for him”
The Shaykh : In her place, by Allah
The reader: By Allah
The Shaykh : Read the verse, in her place
The reader: “By Allah, if the guide were in her place *** That would not have been possible for him
This, and if she had traveled the travel of the wind, she would not *** Have reached me by night at Nu'man
She traveled, and her guide in her travel was *** Sa'd al-Sa'ud, and not al-Dabaran”
The Shaykh : Al-Dabaran
The questioner : And she almost did, but it was not
The Shaykh : The better ...
The questioner : And she almost
The Shaykh : And it was good
The reader: Al-Dabaran
The Shaykh : No, and not al-Dabaran
The reader: She traveled, and her guide in her travel was *** Sa'd al-Sa'ud
The Shaykh : Sa'd
The reader: Sa'd
The Shaykh : Yes
The reader: “She traveled, and her guide in her travel was *** Sa'd al-Sa'ud, and not al-Dabaran
And she reached Jifar, the tears being abundant *** So that is why she did not need the crossing of the sheep
And she ascended upon the back of love and provisioned herself *** With the remembrance of the Beloved and the nearness of His connection” .
The student: Upon the back of love
The student: Upon the back of love, O Shaykh
The student: Upon the back
The Shaykh : Not "back" is better, although "back" is acceptable, "back" is better
The reader: “Upon the back of love and provisioned herself *** With the remembrance of the Beloved and the nearness of His connection
And she returned with her visit and fulfilled *** What she had promised, and it was at the meeting of the eyelids
The longing one was not surprised but she was *** In the chamber of the veils without any permission
She said, and she had unveiled the veil of beauty, what *** Is patience for me from seeing you, two hands
And she spoke to me a speech I thought *** True, and the two eyes had lied with it
So I was amazed by it and I said, in my joy for it *** Hoping, but the dream overtook me
If you are lying in what you told me *** Then upon you is the sin of the lying seducer” .
