أبا سليمانَ سِرْ في الأرضِ فأَقِمْ

أبا سليمانَ سِرْ في الأرضِ فأَقِمْ

فأنتَ عندي دَنَا مثواكَ أو شطَنَا

فأنتَ عندي دَنَا مثواكَ أو شطَنَا

Abu Sulayman, travel the earth, then settle.

O Abu Suleiman, journey through the land and stay,

For you are with me, whether your dwelling is near or far.

For with me your abode is near, be it hills or plains.

ما أنتَ غيري فأخشى أن أُفارِقَهُ

ما أنتَ غيري فأخشى أن أُفارِقَهُ

فديتُ روحَكَ بل رُوحي فأنتَ أنا

فديتُ روحَكَ بل رُوحي فأنتَ أنا

You are not someone other than myself, whom I should fear to part from.

You’re none but me, for I fear to part with you,

I would ransom your soul—rather, my own soul—for you are me.

I sacrifice my soul for you, nay, my very soul, for you are I.
