قَصَدْتُكَ يَا مَثْوَى الإِمَامِ ابْنِ غَالِبِ

قَصَدْتُكَ يَا مَثْوَى الإِمَامِ ابْنِ غَالِبِ

لِأَنْقَذَ مِنْ هَمٍّ بِقَلْبِي غَالِبِ

لِأَنْقَذَ مِنْ هَمٍّ بِقَلْبِي غَالِبِ

I have come to you, O resting place of Imam Ibn Ghalib,

I sought you, O dwelling of Imam Ibn Ghālib

I have sought you, O resting place of the Imam Ibn Ghalib,

To be rescued from a sorrow overwhelming my heart.

To rescue from sorrow my heavily burdened heart

To be saved from an overwhelming grief within my heart.

فَفِيكَ الذِي يَشْفِي القُلُوبَ مِنَ الضَّنَى

فَفِيكَ الذِي يَشْفِي القُلُوبَ مِنَ الضَّنَى

وَيُبْرِيءُ مَنْ أَضْنَاهُ لَسْعُ النَّوَائِبِ

وَيُبْرِيءُ مَنْ أَضْنَاهُ لَسْعُ النَّوَائِبِ

For within you is he who heals hearts of wasting sickness,

For in you is that which heals hearts from grief

For within you is he who cures hearts of their wasting sickness,

And cures whoever is worn down by the sting of calamities.

And cures those stung by the vipers of misfortune

And heals whoever has been exhausted by the sting of calamities.
