1. My Master, your greeting reached me,
Its dawn illuminated all my sides,
١. مَولاي وافتني تحيّتك الّتي
ضاءَت بِطلعَتها جميعُ جهاتي
2. The breeze of innocence blew through my ailments with it,
And the good news lit up the life in me,
٢. وَسَرى نسيمُ البرء في عللي بِها
وَأنارَتِ البشرى محيّا حياتي
3. And I see my sins in life increase my
Closeness to you as if they were my good deeds,
٣. وَأَرى ذُنوبي في الدُنوّ تزيدني
قُربى لديكَ كأنّها حَسَناتي
4. You still look at me with such eyes of approval
You see approval and overlook my stumbles,
٤. لا زلت تَلحَظُني بِكم عينُ الرضا
فَترى الرضى وتغضّ عن عثراتي
5. My determination to visit you was not deterred
If not for my shyness which held back my determination,
٥. لَم يثنِ عَزمي عن طروقِ حماكمُ
لولا اِحتشام قَد ثَنى عَزماتي
6. I was blessed with a Master who checked on his servant
Despite his long absence from service,
٦. أَكرم بمولى قد تفقّد عبدهُ
مَع طول غيبته عن الخدماتِ
7. I send him greetings, their scent
Musky, having reached me from gardens.
٧. أهدي إليهِ تحيّة نَفَحاتها
مسكيّة وافته من جنّاتِ
