You have reached me at night

بلغت مداك من أرب فسيحي

1. You have reached me at night
So wander freely in this open air

١. بَلَغْتِ مَدَاكِ مِنْ أَرَبٍ فَسِيحِي
فَأَنْتِ الْيَوْمَ فِي جَوٍّ فَسِيحِ

2. You left behind the flesh that once was yours
And disappeared in Jesus' graceful glare

٢. تَرَكْتِ الْجِسْمَ فَيمَا كَانَ مِنْهُ
وَغِبْتِ بِلُجَّةِ لَوْنِ الْمَسِيحِ

3. So now this shell of bone stands vacant, null -
For you were precious as a coin of gold

٣. فَعَادَتْ صُورَةُ الْجُثْمَانِ عُطْلاً
لِفَقْدِكِ مِثْلَ دِينارٍ مَسِيحِ

4. If legs could move, how would they find the strength
To tread where only spirits dare to hold?

٤. وَلَوْ يَقْوَى لَسَارَ وَكَيْفَ يَقْوى
عَلَى هَوْلِ السُّرَى قَدَمُ الْكَسِيحِ

5. You bathed in radiance like the beaming sun
And walked on seas of utmost bashfulness

٥. سَبَحْتِ بِغَمْرَةٍ كَالْشَّمْسِ نُوراً
وَعَامَ مِنَ الْخَجَالَةِ في مَسِيحِ

6. If only you might come back true to us
And startle every flirting feigned mistress

٦. فَلَيْتَكِ تَرْجِعِينَ لَنَا بِصِدْقٍ
يُبَاغِتُ كُلَّ خَتَّالٍ مَسِيحِ

7. By your Lord, did you find as we have found
Division between Ahmad and Christ?

٧. بِرَبِّكِ هَلْ وَجَدْتِ كَمَا وَجَدْنَا
خِلافاً بَيْنَ أَحْمَدَ وَالْمَسِيحِ
