إِذا النائِباتُ بَلَغنَ المَدى

إِذا النائِباتُ بَلَغنَ المَدى

وَكادَت تَذوبُ لَهُنَّ المُهَج

وَكادَت تَذوبُ لَهُنَّ المُهَج

When calamities reach their utmost limit,

When hardships reach their peak

When misfortunes reach their utmost limit,

And hearts nearly melt because of them,

And hearts are melting with grief and ache

And souls are nearly melting from the strain,

وَحَلَّ البَلاءُ وَبانَ العَزاءُ

وَحَلَّ البَلاءُ وَبانَ العَزاءُ

فَعِندَ التَناهي يَكونُ الفَرَج

فَعِندَ التَناهي يَكونُ الفَرَج

And affliction descends and solace departs,

When trials abound and comfort's rare

And affliction descends while solace departs,

Then, at the utmost extreme, relief comes.

Deliverance comes, rest assured, somewhere

Then, at the very point of extremity, relief arrives.
