1. أَحبابَنا أَزِفَ الرَحي

    لُ فَزَوِّدونا بِالدُعاءِ

    Our dear ones, departure draws near;

    so provision us with prayers.

  2. أَحبابَنا هَل بَعدَ هَ

    ذا اليَومِ يَومٌ لِلِّقاءِ

    Our dear ones, will there be, after this

    day, a day when we meet?

  3. إِنّي لَأَعرِفُ مِنكُمُ

    ياسادَتي حُسنَ الوَفاءِ

    I surely recognize in you,

    O my masters, the beauty of faithfulness.

  4. مُذ كُنتُ فيكُم لَم يَخِب

    أَمَلي وَلَم يَخبُ رَجائي

    Since I was among you, never has

    my hope failed, nor has my expectation faded.

  5. وَلَقَد رَحَلتُ وَإِنَّني

    بِالفَضلِ مَنشورُ اللِواءِ

    I have indeed departed, with my

    banner unfurled through your generosity.

  6. لا تَستَقِلَّ بِيَ المَطِ

    يُّ لِما حَمَلنَ مِنَ الثَناءِ

    The riding camels cannot bear me,

    for the praise they have borne.

  7. وَإِذا ذَكَرتُكُمُ غَني

    تُ بِذاكَ عَن زادٍ وَماءِ

    And when I remember you, I can dispense

    with provisions and water through that remembrance.

  8. عِندي لَكُم ذاكَ الوَفا

    ءُ المُستَمِرُّ عَلى الوَلاءِ

    I hold for you that faithfulness

    that endures in loyalty.

  9. فَعلَيكُمُ أَبَداً سَلا

    مي في الصَباحِ وَفي المَساءِ

    So upon you forever be my greeting of peace,

    in the morning and in the evening.
