قَصَدْتُ أَبَا عِمْرَانَ مُوسَى وَقَدْ طَغَتْ

قَصَدْتُ أَبَا عِمْرَانَ مُوسَى وَقَدْ طَغَتْ

هُمُومِي على قَلْبِي الكَئيبِ الْمُبَرَّحِ

هُمُومِي على قَلْبِي الكَئيبِ الْمُبَرَّحِ

I sought Abu Imran Musa, when

I sought out Abu Imran Musa while my worries

I sought Abu Imran Musa, when they had overflowed—

my sorrows had overwhelmed my sorrowful, tormented heart,

Overflowed upon my mournful, desolate heart,

My heavy cares, upon my dejected, agonized heart,

لِكَيْ تَسْرَحَ الآمَالُ في رَوْضِ جُودِهِ

لِكَيْ تَسْرَحَ الآمَالُ في رَوْضِ جُودِهِ

فَمَنْ لاَذَ بِالرَّاعِي يَسْرَحْ وَيَمْرَحِ

فَمَنْ لاَذَ بِالرَّاعِي يَسْرَحْ وَيَمْرَحِ

so that hopes might graze in the meadow of his generosity;

So that hope might graze in the meadow of his generosity -

So that hopes might roam in the meadow of his generosity,

for whoever seeks refuge with the shepherd will graze and frolic.

For he who seeks refuge in the Shepherd will graze and frolic.

For whoever takes refuge with the shepherd shall roam and rejoice.
