Safa Al nazra

صفت النظرة

Arabic text

صَفَتِ النَّظْرَةُ، طَابَتِ الْحَضْرَةُ

جَاءَتِ الْبُشْرَى لِأَهْلِ اللَّهِ

قَامُوا سُكَارَى لِذِي الْبِشَارَةِ

جَعَلُوا الْعِمَارَةَ شُكْرًا لِلَّهِ

أَيُّهَا الْحَاضِرُ، اذْكُرْ وَذَاكِرْ

إِيَّاكَ تُنْكِرُ حَالَ أَهْلِ اللَّهِ

فَسَلِّمْ لَهُمْ فِيمَا عَرَاهُمْ

وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُمْ غَابُوا فِي اللَّهِ

Transliteration

Ṣafati an-naẓratu, ṭābatii al-ḥaḍratu

Jāʾati al-bushrā li-ʾahli Allāhi

Qāmū sukārá li-dhī al-bishārati

Jaʿalū al-ʿimārati shukran li-llāhi

Ayyuhā al-ḥāḍiru, udhkur wa-dhākir

Iyyāka tunkiru ḥāla ʾahli Allāhi

Fa-sallim lahum fīmā ʿarāhum

Wa-ʿlam annahum ghābū fī Allāhi

English translation

The gaze became clear, the gathering delightful.

Glad tidings arrived for the people of Allah.

They rose, as if intoxicated with the good news.

They made their worship an act of gratitude to Allah.

O you who are present, remember and remind.

And never deny the state of the people of Allah.

So yield to them in what overtakes them.

And know that they are lost, in presence with Allah.
