يا مَعشَرَ العُشّاقِ ما البُشرى

يا مَعشَرَ العُشّاقِ ما البُشرى

قَد ظَفِرَت كَفّي بِمَن أَهوى

قَد ظَفِرَت كَفّي بِمَن أَهوى

O company of lovers, what are the glad tidings?

O company of lovers, what good news!

O assembly of lovers, what joyous tidings!

My hand has won the one I love.

My hands have grasped whom I desire.

My hand has won the one I desire.

واصَلَني مِن بَعدِكُم سَيِّدي

واصَلَني مِن بَعدِكُم سَيِّدي

كَذاكَ أَيضاً لَكُمُ العُقبى

كَذاكَ أَيضاً لَكُمُ العُقبى

My lord granted me union after you.

After being parted from you, my master

My master has granted me union after you,

May such an outcome be yours as well.

Has come back to me; your turn will also come.

And likewise, may the outcome be yours.

ضَمَمتُ كَفَّيَّ عَلى دُرَّةٍ

ضَمَمتُ كَفَّيَّ عَلى دُرَّةٍ

لا شِركَةٌ فيها وَلا دَعوى

لا شِركَةٌ فيها وَلا دَعوى

I clasped my two hands around a pearl,

I clasped in my hands a precious pearl

I have clasped my palms upon a pearl,

In which there is neither sharing nor any claim.

In which none have a share or any claim.

In which there is no partnership nor claim.

لَمّا تَمَلَأتُ سُروراً بِها

لَمّا تَمَلَأتُ سُروراً بِها

أَغرَبتُ عَنّي سائِرَ الدُنيا

أَغرَبتُ عَنّي سائِرَ الدُنيا

When I was filled with joy over it,

When I became filled with joy through it,

When I became wholly filled with joy in her,

I banished the rest of the world from me.

I became estranged from all else in the world.

I banished from myself the rest of the world.
