غب لَثم الشِفاه مَوضع نَعلي

غب لَثم الشِفاه مَوضع نَعلي

ك وَوَضع الجِباه فَوق الرغام

ك وَوَضع الجِباه فَوق الرغام

After lips have kissed the place of your sandals,

The place of my lips is the sole of your sandals,

and foreheads have been laid upon the dust,

And the place of my forehead is above the dirt.

وَطَواف الآمال مِن حَول نادي

وَطَواف الآمال مِن حَول نادي

ك وَسَعي الرُؤس لا الإِقدام

ك وَسَعي الرُؤس لا الإِقدام

and hopes have circled around your gathering place,

Hopes revolve around your gathering,

and heads, not feet, have hastened,

Yet heads move, not feet.

يا اِبن خَير الأَنام بَعد رَسول الل

يا اِبن خَير الأَنام بَعد رَسول الل

ه فينا يا معقل الإِسلام

ه فينا يا معقل الإِسلام

O son of the best of humankind after God's Messenger

O son of the best of mankind after the Messenger of God,

among us, O stronghold of Islam!

Our bastion of Islam.

لي شَوق إِلَيك لَو رُحت أَبدي

لي شَوق إِلَيك لَو رُحت أَبدي

هِ تَشكى الأَوام مني أَوامي

هِ تَشكى الأَوام مني أَوامي

I have a longing for you; were I to reveal

I long for you—if I went to complain forever,

it, thirst itself would complain of my burning thirst.

My days would complain of me.

فَعَلى وَجهك الجَميل مِن الل

فَعَلى وَجهك الجَميل مِن الل

ه تَحايا وَأَلف أَلف سَلام

ه تَحايا وَأَلف أَلف سَلام

So upon your beautiful face, from God,

So to your beautiful face from God,

be greetings and a thousand thousand salutations.

Greetings and a thousand thousand salāms.
