Love stood still on the tip of my tongue

وقف الغرام على ثناك لساني

1. Love stood still on the tip of my tongue
To graze on the kindness you have bestowed

١. وَقَفَ الْغَرَامُ عَلَى ثَنَاكَ لِسَانِي
رَعْياً لِمَا أَوْلَيتَ مِنْ إِحْسَانِ

2. So my gratitude for your benevolence
Is like the garden’s thanks for April’s showers

٢. فَكَأَنَّمَا شُكْرِي لِمَا أَوْلَيْتَهُ
شُكْرُ الرِّيَاضِ لِعَارِض النيسَانِ

3. I’m devoted to you wherever decreed
No two minds dispute its wise judgment

٣. أَنَا شِيعَةٌ لَكَ حَيْثُ كُنْتَ قَضِيَّةٌ
لَمْ يَخْتَلف فِي حُكْمِهَا نَفْسَانِ

4. Though lances crossed in battle, you were
The horseman champion of the arena

٤. وَلَقَدْ تَشَاجَرَتِ الرِّمَاحُ فَكُنْتَ فِي
مَيْدَانِ نَصْرِكَ فَارِسَ الْفُرْسَانِ

5. I told the sweet tales of your glories
Exalting you amid lyrics and odes

٥. وَرَوَيْتُ غُرَّ مآثِر أَسْنَدْتُهَا
لِعُلاَكَ بَيْنَ صَحَائِحٍ وَحِسَانِ

6. For you are most befitting of devotion
A trait no other human equals

٦. وَلأَنْتَ أَوْلَى بِالتَّشيُّعِ شِيمَةٌ
لَمْ تَتَّفِقْ لِسِوَاكَ مِنْ إِنْسَانِ

7. You are the sun peerless in its rising
Does one ever see two suns in a sky?

٧. الشَّمْسُ أَنْتَ قَدِ انْفَرَدْتَ وَهَل يُرَى
بَيْنَ الْوَرَى فِي مَطْلَعٍ شَمْسَانِ

8. You’ve captivated all souls by your charm
And every tongue sings Allah’s praise

٨. جَبرْتَ بِجَبْرِكَ كُلَّ نَفْسٍ حُرَّةٍ
وَشَدَا بِشُكْرِ اللَّهِ كُلُّ لِسَانِ

9. Your good fortunes progressed upright
As sorrows fled before their advance

٩. وَبَدَتْ سُعُودُكَ مُسْتَقِيماً سَيْرُهَا
وَعَلَتْ فَفَرَّ أَمَامَهَا النَّحْسَانِ

10. So turn to meet recurring blessings
However pleased to blessings you bow

١٠. فَاسْتَقْبِلِ السَّعْدَ المُعَاوِدَ سَافِراً
عَنْ أَيِّ وَجْهٍ لِلرِّضَا حُسَّانِ

11. Seek from your Lord greater bounty
Trust He multiplies gifts and grace

١١. وَابْغِ المَزِيدَ بشْكُرِ رَبِّكَ ولتَثِقْ
بِمُضَاعَفِ الإِنْعَامِ وَالإِحْسَانِ

12. Gratitude attracts greater returns
To keep arriving at your door

١٢. فَالشُّكْر يُقْتَادُ الْمَزِيدَ رَكَائِباً
تَنْتَابُ بَابَكَ مِنْهُ فِي أَرْسَانِ

13. Then greetings upon you, their fragrance sweet
With scents of aloeswood and basil

١٣. ثُمَّ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يُزْرِي عرْفُهُ
طِيباً بِعَرْفِ الْعُودِ وَالْبلَسَانِ
