Rubayiat Al Thurab (Verses of the Dust) – 11

BismillahIr RahmanIr Raheem

Ya habibi , eindama ‘aqra shiftik.
‘Astatie ‘an ‘akhbar milyun qisat , bal ‘udris majmueatan min Al’kutb.

Al’maerifat , ma ‘aseaa ‘iilayh , laysat min Al’kutub,
Lkn, ‘aseaa min Hakimat Al’Nabilat.

Daeuna najlus maeaan waltahaduth , Ya min Al’Nubla’
Baynama tatahadath , daeni ‘alsaq wajhak la’uktusab maelumati.

li’anak ‘ant ‘ahbati! ‘Ant li’Mehbubi!

Oh my beloved, when I read your lips.
I can tell a million stories, rather I study a bunch of books.

Knowledge, what I am seeking, is not from the books,
But, I seek from your noble wisdom.

let’s sit together and talk, oh the noble one,
While you talk, let me glaze Your face to gain my knowledge.

As, you are my loved one! You are my beloved!

Allah Khair….. Khairul Rabul Alameen Yah Arrahmanur Yah Raheem
