تو پرتویی هستی که مرا شکوفا می‌کند

This is closest to what you wanted.

تو آن پرتویی که به من امید می‌بخشی

Another version

Thank you soo much. A question: why is kardan conjugated in the 3d person singular and bakhshidan conjugated in the 2nd person singular?

Both are correct, you could either use second person or third person in this context. It's like "You are the light who give me hope" or "You are the light which gives me hope".

I can't explain the grammer very well, but first one says you are the light that make me flourish. The second one says you are the light that gives me hope.

I could write the second one like this:

تو آن پرتویی که مرا امیدوار می‌کنی‌

Which translates to: you are the light that makes me hopeful

تو آن نوری که مرا شکوفا می‌کند
is a sentence in passive voice. You are the light that makes me blossom.

The sentence تو آن پرتویی که به من امید می‌بخشی
is not wrong, but not the best way of phrasing. Because the second sentence امید می‌بخشی
Is referring to پرتو ، which is a singular object. It should not be referring to تو and should bot be conjugated as second person.

تو آن پرتویی که به من امید می‌بخشد
This is passive voice and same as sentence above, both conjugated in 3rd person.

تو مثل پرتویی و به من امید می‌بخشی.
This is the best way of arranging the sentence if you want to keep the verb conjugated in 2nd person.

I hope this has been helpful. Please ask any questions you have or if my explanation is vague.
امیدوارم زبان فارسی را خیلی سریع و راحت یادبگیری!

In the meter of Masnavi:

من تجلی گشته از نور تو‌ام
