Arwah al-Ahbab - Spirit of lovers
Qasida by Sayyidi al-Sheikh Ibrahim al-Yaqoubi
qaddasa Alllah sirrahu

Allah, Allah
Allah, my Lord
My Sucur, all I need,
I have nothing but Him.

The spirit lovers
standing at the door
sticking to the treshold
(seeking) to please the Lover (al-Wahhab)

They ardently wish (to receive) a look
from the People of Presence,
after which intoxication
will efface reason.

O you who blame me, hold back,
don't blame the one who is consumed by ardent passion!
You do not know
what lovers are up to.

If you saw my secret,
you would lose your senses.
Truly, due to my intoxication,
the lack of excuse is acceptable.

Your servant has lost his senses,
indulging in nonsensical speech.
(Engrossed by) endless sorrow,
he has left his companions.

Tie/connect my rope.
grant me union!
Forgive me for killing myself,
my heart is melting down.

Then blessings of Allah
upon the one of imposing rank,
the compassionate Prophet,
who opens the doors,

And upon the lovers,
his pure Family,
as well as his Companions,
how excellent is it to mention them!
