وَاِرَحمَتا لِلغَريبِ في البَلَدِ ال

وَاِرَحمَتا لِلغَريبِ في البَلَدِ ال

نازِحِ ماذا بِنَفسِهِ صَنَعا

نازِحِ ماذا بِنَفسِهِ صَنَعا

Alas for the stranger in the land

And mercy to the stranger in the country who is displaced

far away—what has he done to himself?

What has he done with himself?

فارَقَ أَحبابَهُ فَما اِنتَفَعوا

فارَقَ أَحبابَهُ فَما اِنتَفَعوا

بِالعَيشِ مِن بَعدِهِ وَلا اِنتَفَعا

بِالعَيشِ مِن بَعدِهِ وَلا اِنتَفَعا

He parted from his loved ones; they found no joy

He left his loved ones, yet they did not benefit

in life after his departure, nor did he.

From living after him, nor did he benefit.

كانَ عَزيزاً بِقُربِ دارِهُمُ

كانَ عَزيزاً بِقُربِ دارِهُمُ

حَتّى إِذا ما تَباعَدوا خَشَعا

حَتّى إِذا ما تَباعَدوا خَشَعا

He was cherished near their home,

He was dear when close to their homes

until, when they grew distant, he was humbled.

Until when they were separated, he became humble.

يَقولُ في نَأيِهِ وَغُربَتِهِ

يَقولُ في نَأيِهِ وَغُربَتِهِ

عَدلٌ مِنَ اللَهِ كُلُّ ما صَنَعا

عَدلٌ مِنَ اللَهِ كُلُّ ما صَنَعا

He says in his separation and exile:

He says in his remoteness and estrangement:

All that He has done is justice from God.

"All that God has ordained is just."
