دو هفته رفت ز شعبان و مه به نیمه رسید نسیمی از نفس دولت کریمه رسیدTwo weeks of Shaban have passed, the moon has reached its half A breeze has arrived from the breath of the Generous State

شبی که ماه در اوج تکاملش بدر است شبی بلند که همسایه با شب قدر استA night when the moon is full at the peak of its perfection A long night that neighbors the Night of Power (Qadr)

شبی که نور شکافد دل سیاهی را به سامرا ببرد وعده الهی راA night when light splits the heart of darkness Carrying the divine promise to Samarra

چه وعده‌ای و چه میعادی و چه موعودی چه زاده‌ای و چه میلادی و چه مولودیWhat a promise, what an appointment, what a promised one What a born child, what a birth, what a newborn

صدای هلهله می‌آمد از عشیره‌ی عشقThe sound of ululation was coming from the tribe of love

که می‌رسید ز ره آخرین ذخیره‌ی عشقFor the last reserve of love was arriving from the road

عجب شبی‌ست شب نور و عشق و دلبری است و بهترین شب عمر امام عسکری است (x2)What a night! It is a night of light, love, and charm And it is the best night in the life of Imam Askari (x2)

ستاره‌ای بدرخشید و ماه مجلس شد چه افتخار بزرگی نصیب نرجس شدA star shone and became the moon of the gathering What a great honor was bestowed upon Narjis

رسید آنکه خدا هم به انتظارش بود و جای بوسه‌ی صدیق بر عذارش بودHe arrived, the one whom even God was awaiting And the place of the Truthful One's kiss was upon his cheek

رسید و مژده‌ی او تا به بیکران‌ها رفت نیامده به زمین سوی آسمان‌ها رفتHe arrived and his glad tidings went to the infinities Before fully settling on earth, he ascended towards the heavens

قدم به روی پر و بال جبرئیل زند مسیح بر پر قنداقه‌اش دخیل زندHe steps upon the wings of Gabriel And Jesus seeks intercession holding his swaddling clothes

ز آسمان در این خانه سائل آمده است خبر رسیده که انسان کامل آمده استA beggar has come from the sky to this house News has arrived that the Perfect Human has come
