حَباكَ الله منه بالشِّفاء

حَباكَ الله منه بالشِّفاء

ومَتَّعَك المهيمنُ بالبَقاء

ومَتَّعَك المهيمنُ بالبَقاء

May God grant you healing from it,

May God grant you recovery from it,

May God grant you recovery as a gift

and may the All-Preserving grant you enduring life.

And may the Guardian let you enjoy long life.

And may the All-Powerful allow you longevity

فيا بحر النَّوال ولا أماري

فيا بحر النَّوال ولا أماري

ويا بَدرَ الكمال ولا أُرائي

ويا بَدرَ الكمال ولا أُرائي

O sea of bounty—and I do not exaggerate;

So, O sea of bounty—this I do not dispute,

O ocean of generosity that knows no bounds

O full moon of perfection—and I do not flatter.

And O full moon of perfection—I speak without pretense.

O full moon of perfection that casts no shadows

حياتُك في الوجود أبا جميل

حياتُك في الوجود أبا جميل

حياةٌ للمروءة والسَّخاء

حياةٌ للمروءة والسَّخاء

Your life in this world, Abu Jamil,

Your life in this world, Abu Jamil,

Your life, dear one, is one of honor

is life itself for chivalrous virtue and generosity.

Is life for chivalry and generosity.

A life of chivalry and generosity

وفي وجدانك الأَيَّام تزهو

وفي وجدانك الأَيَّام تزهو

كما تزهو الرِّياض من البهاء

كما تزهو الرِّياض من البهاء

In your presence, the days grow splendid,

And in your presence the days bloom,

In your heart, days bloom

as gardens flourish in beauty,

As gardens bloom with splendor.

Like gardens of splendor and radiance

لتشرق في أسِرَّتك النَّواحي

لتشرق في أسِرَّتك النَّواحي

ولا يبقى الظَّلام مع الضياء

ولا يبقى الظَّلام مع الضياء

so that every quarter may shine with the radiance of your countenance,

May the regions shine in the radiance of your brow,

May joy spread through your family

for darkness cannot remain in the presence of light.

And darkness does not remain alongside light.

With no darkness to dim the light

وأدعو الله مبتهلاً إليه

وأدعو الله مبتهلاً إليه

دعاءً في الصَّباح وبالمساء

دعاءً في الصَّباح وبالمساء

And I call upon God, beseeching Him

And I call upon God, humbly beseeching Him,

I pray to God with longing

with a prayer morning and evening:

With prayer in the morning and in the evening,

Morning and night in my supplication

بأنْ يُبقيكَ للإِسْلام ظِلاًّ

بأنْ يُبقيكَ للإِسْلام ظِلاًّ

تَقيه كلَّ ممتنع الوقاء

تَقيه كلَّ ممتنع الوقاء

that He preserve you as a sheltering shade for Islam,

That He preserve you as a shade for Islam,

To keep you as a shade for Islam

protecting it from every peril difficult to repel.

Protecting it from all that defies protection.

Sheltering all from inescapable fate

فلا اعْتَلَّتْ لعِلَّتك المعالي

فلا اعْتَلَّتْ لعِلَّتك المعالي

ولا فَقَدَتْك أَبناءُ الرَّجاء

ولا فَقَدَتْك أَبناءُ الرَّجاء

May lofty virtues never sicken on account of your illness,

So may lofty virtues never fall ill through your illness,

May no illness make your virtues fade

nor the children of hope ever lose you—

And may the sons of hope never lose you.

Or your absence disappoint those hopeful of your care

دواءٌ للعلى من كلّ داءٍ

دواءٌ للعلى من كلّ داءٍ

فلا احتاج الدواءُ إلى الدواء

فلا احتاج الدواءُ إلى الدواء

you who are a cure for all that is lofty, healing every ill;

You are a remedy for greatness against every ailment,

A cure for all, you have no need of cure

may the cure never need a cure.

So may the remedy never need a remedy.

Needing no remedy for any condition or despair
