بِطولِ ضَنى جِسمي بِكُم وَتَبَلُّدي

بِطولِ ضَنى جِسمي بِكُم وَتَبَلُّدي

بِقُوَّةِ حُبِّيكُم وَضِعفِ تَجَلُّدي

بِقُوَّةِ حُبِّيكُم وَضِعفِ تَجَلُّدي

By my body's long wasting because of you, and my numb bewilderment,

With longing my body has withered for you and hardened,

by the strength of my love for you and the weakness of my endurance,

With the strength of my love for you and the weakness of my perseverance,

بِحُبّي بِذُلّي بِالجَوى بِتَحَيُّري

بِحُبّي بِذُلّي بِالجَوى بِتَحَيُّري

بِسُقمي بِضَعفي بِاِتِّصالِ تَلَدُّدي

بِسُقمي بِضَعفي بِاِتِّصالِ تَلَدُّدي

by my love, by my abasement, by my heartache, by my bewilderment,

With my love, my humility, my longing, my confusion,

by my sickness, by my weakness, by my unceasing restlessness,

With my sickness, my weakness, my persistence in supplication,

بِما أَنزَلَ اللَهُ العَظيمُ جَلالُهُ

بِما أَنزَلَ اللَهُ العَظيمُ جَلالُهُ

قُراناً عَلى لَفظِ النَبِيِّ مُحَمَّدِ

قُراناً عَلى لَفظِ النَبِيِّ مُحَمَّدِ

by what God—great is His majesty—sent down,

By what Allah the Almighty, majestic is His glory,

as the Qur'an in the words of the Prophet Muhammad:

Sent down as a Quran with the words of the Prophet Muhammad,

تَرَفَّق فَإِنّي المَرءُ أَوهَنتَ جِسمَهُ

تَرَفَّق فَإِنّي المَرءُ أَوهَنتَ جِسمَهُ

بِلا خَطَإٍ قَد كانَ بَل بِتَعَمُّدِ

بِلا خَطَإٍ قَد كانَ بَل بِتَعَمُّدِ

be gentle, for I am the man whose body you have weakened,

Have mercy, for I am a man whose body has been weakened

not by mistake, but with deliberate intent.

Without fault, truly it was done intentionally,

تَصَدَّق عَلى مِسكينِكُم بِنَوالِكُم

تَصَدَّق عَلى مِسكينِكُم بِنَوالِكُم

فَهاأَنَذا مَمدودَةً نَحوَكُم يَدي

فَهاأَنَذا مَمدودَةً نَحوَكُم يَدي

Give alms to your poor one from your bounty,

Bestow charity upon your poor one with your bounty

for here I am, my hand outstretched toward you.

For here I am, my hand stretched out to you,
