For God’s sake, turn aside to the Badri sanctuary, recalling
By God, strange is the full moon's madness
a finely composed verse, and say: O home of the one I seek,
Making you compose poetry and say "O house of my beloved one"
أنتَyou الحبيبthe beloved ولكنِّيbut I أعوذُI seek refuge بهin him
أنتَ الحبيب ولكنِّي أعوذُ به

من أن أكون محبًّا غير محبوب
You are the beloved, but I seek refuge in him
You are the beloved, but I seek refuge in Him
from being a lover who is not loved.
From being a lover without being loved

And by Yahya’s grave, O his Muhammad,
By the right of John the Baptist's soil, O Muhammad
may sincerity not alter the patience of Job within me.
Naught but truth and Job's patience come from me
