Himtu shawqan

هِمْتُ شَوْقًا فَارْحَمُونِي
هِمْتُ وَجْدًا فَاعْذُرُونِي
فَاضَ دَمْعِي مِنْ عُيُونِي
شَاهِدًا لِي بِالْجُنُونِ
​سَادَتِي أَهْلَ الْمَكَارِمْ
إِنِّي بِالْبَابِ قَائِمْ
فَالْحَظُوا عَبْدًا وَخَادِمْ
وَانْظُرُوهُ بِالْعُيُونِ
​سَادَتِي أَهْلَ الدَّوَائِرْ
وَالتَّصَرُّفِ يَا أَكَابِرْ
إِنَّنِي بِالْبَابِ حَائِرْ
أَدْخِلُونِي أَدْخِلُونِي
​سَادَتِي أَهْلَ التَّصَرُّفْ
وَالتَّجَلِّي وَالتَّعَرُّفْ
أَنْتُمُ أَهْلُ التَّعَطُّفْ
فَانْظُرُوا لِي فَانْظُرُوا لِي
​حُبُّكُمْ فِي الْقَلْبِ خَيَّمْ
نَارُكُمْ فِي الْقَلْبِ تُضْرَمْ
فَارْحَمُوا صَبًّا مُتَيَّمْ
قَدْ رَمَوْهُ بِالْجُنُونِ
​يَا أَسْيَادِي يَا أَسْيَادِي
بِالنَّبِيِّ لَا تَهْجُرُونِي
قَدْ مَضَى عُمْرِي وَأَنْتُمْ
يَا أَسْيَادِي تُوعِدُونِي

Longing’s driven me insane, so have mercy on me.
Ecstasy has swept my heart, so please excuse me.
From my eyes the tears are flowing,
bearing witness to my madness.
O my masters, people of noble virtues,
here I am, standing at your door.
So cast a glance upon a slave and servant,
and look upon him with your eyes.
O my masters, people of spiritual circles and power,
people of influence, O noble ones,
I am bewildered, waiting at the door
let me enter, let me enter!
O my masters, people of spiritual authority,
of divine manifestations and inner knowing,
you are the people of compassion
so look toward me, so look toward me!
Your love has pitched its tent within my heart,
your fire is blazing in my heart;
so have mercy on a passionately enamoured lover
whom they have accused of madness.
O my masters, O my masters,
by the Prophet, do not abandon me!
My life has passed while you
O my masters, keep promising me.
