You are the Gracious One and I am the ignoble,
Now waiting at Your door, Oh my Cherisher,
With devotion life becomes beauteous,
And without, what is life but disgrace,
Remembrance of Him is the foundation of faith,
Beggars transform into kings due to His Remembrance.
Liege lord, Oh Muhammad you are the light of our lives,
The mighty and the best intercessor of the wrong-doers,
Since Muhammad was purified of worldly things,
Whatever direction He turned is found the Face of Allah,
The noble soul of his is like a falcon of the highest heavens,
Being 'the mercy of the worlds' is his eminence,
The mightiest and the best of all Prophets is he,
Except Muhammad in land or sky there is none worthy,
He is the praise of God, divinely praised in abundant
He is the reflection of God in the shape of a worshiping servant,
The friends of God are like God because God is their friend
And in this way he who has seen his Master, has seen God's Glory,
If one doesn't see his spiritual Master as reflection of God
He is not a disciple, not a disciple, not a disciple!
Mevlana could never be Mevlana Rumi
If he had not devoted himself to Shams e Tabrizi.
(The original poem is called 'Tu kareemi, man kamina')
