1. Our elder, may you dwell in lasting bliss
And may God endow you with serenity.
١. شَيْخَنا دُمْتَ في النَّعيمِ الْمُقِيم
وَحَباكَ الإلَهُ بالتَّسْليمِ
2. My greetings are enough, o messenger -
Informing of our talk and days gone by.
٢. وكَفَى بالسَّلامِ مِنِّي رَسُولاً
مُخْبِراً عَنْ حَدِيثنا والقَدِيمِ
3. If you're in love like me, know I may stay
Awake through night, restless, sick with yearning.
٣. إنْ تَكُنْ في الغَرامِ مِثْلي فإنِّي
رُبَّما بِتُّ سَاهِراً كالسَّلِيمِ
