يا مَن هجرتُ له الأَهلينَ والوطَنا

يا مَن هجرتُ له الأَهلينَ والوطَنا

وصارَمَت مقلتي في حُبِّهِ الوَسَنا

وصارَمَت مقلتي في حُبِّهِ الوَسَنا

O you for whom I forsook my kin and homeland,

O you whom I left my family and homeland for

And my eye, for love of him, broke with slumber.

And my eyelids have become weak in love for you

لأَشكرنَّ اجتهاداً كان آخرُه

لأَشكرنَّ اجتهاداً كان آخرُه

ما قلَّدَ الجيدَ مِن تلقائكَ المِنَنا

ما قلَّدَ الجيدَ مِن تلقائكَ المِنَنا

I shall surely give thanks for an endeavor that culminated

I will thank the efforts whose end

In adorning the neck with favors bestowed by you.

Was that your spontaneity bestowed gifts upon my neck

فاسمح بقربكَ للنفسِ التي حَكَمت

فاسمح بقربكَ للنفسِ التي حَكَمت

لها المطالِبُ أَن تُحيي بكَ الزَّمنا

لها المطالِبُ أَن تُحيي بكَ الزَّمنا

So grant the soul nearness to you; it was decreed

So allow my soul, which desires have decreed,

For it by its aspirations that it should bring time to life through you.

To come near you, that through you it may revive time
