ai ki sharah-e-vazzuhā aamad jamāl-e-rū-e-tū
nukta-e-vallail vasf-e-zulf-e-'ambar bū-e-tū
Oh, that exalted being, the meaning of Surah Ad-Duha (The Morning Hours) is made manifest in the beauty of your face. The hidden point of Surah Al-Lail (The Night) is concealed in the form of your fragrant locks.
ai do-chashm-e-surmāgīnat kuhl-e-mā-zāġhal-basar
qaaba qausainast ramz-e-gosha-e-abrū-e-tū
Oh Beloved, your kohl-lined eyes are the kohl of Mā Zāgha Al-Başaru (The sight never swerved - Quran 53:17, referring to the Prophet's steadfast gaze), and the secret of Qāba Qawsayn (Two Bow-lengths - Quran 53:9, referring to his closeness to God) is hidden in the curve of your brow.
nusḳha-e-fīhi-shfā.un shahd-e-guftār-e-ḳhushast
māya-e-yuhyil-'izām aamad lab-e-dil-jū-e-tū
Every word of your sweet speech is a prescription of Fī Shifā' (Therein is healing - a reference to the Quran), your heart-charming words are life-giving, like Yuḥyī Al-ʿIẓāma (He gives life to bones - Quran 36:78, referring to God's power).
sīna-e-dādan-e-tū az yāsīñ nishāne mī-dehad
sūra-e-hāmīm dārad halqa-e-gesū-e-tū
The gleam of your teeth provides the sign of Surah Yā-Sīn. The curves and coils of your locks reflect the image of Surah Ḥā-Mīm (the group of Surahs beginning with those letters).
kā'ba-e-dil qbila-e-jāñ yā-rasūlallāh tuī
sajda-e-miskīñ 'hasan' har-lahza baadā sū-e-tū
Oh Messenger of God, you are the Kaaba of the heart and the Qibla of the soul. Every moment of a humble one like Hassan is dedicated only to you.
