يا شِفائي إذا السَّقامُ تولَّى

يا شِفائي إذا السَّقامُ تولَّى

وضِيائي إِن أَعتَمَ الحَظُّ عَيني

وضِيائي إِن أَعتَمَ الحَظُّ عَيني

O my healing when sickness takes over,

O my remedy when illness comes upon me,

And my light if fortune darkens my eye.

And my light when misfortune darkens my eyes.

أَنْتَ رُوحي حَياةُ قالَبِ كَوْني

أَنْتَ رُوحي حَياةُ قالَبِ كَوْني

أَنْتَ كَنْزي ما زُلتَ عن كلِّ عَينِ

أَنْتَ كَنْزي ما زُلتَ عن كلِّ عَينِ

You are my soul, the life of my being's frame.

You are my soul, the life of my body's mold,

You are my treasure; you have not vanished from any eye.

You are my treasure, hidden from every eye.

طَلَبَتْ سِرَّكَ الحوادِثُ منِّي

طَلَبَتْ سِرَّكَ الحوادِثُ منِّي

قلتُ سِرِّي بينَ الحَبيبِ وبَيْني

قلتُ سِرِّي بينَ الحَبيبِ وبَيْني

The vicissitudes sought your secret from me.

Events have asked your secret of me,

I said, "My secret is between the beloved and me."

I said, "My secret is between my lover and me."
