رَاشَ زَمَانِي وَبَرَى نَبْلَهُ

رَاشَ زَمَانِي وَبَرَى نَبْلَهُ

فَكُنْتَ لِي مِنْ وَقْعِهَا جُنّهْ

فَكُنْتَ لِي مِنْ وَقْعِهَا جُنّهْ

My time fletched and sharpened its arrows,

My age spread around and bore its arrows,

so you were my shield against their blows.

So you were to me a shield against their strike.

وَلَوْ قَهَرْتَ الْمَوْتَ أَمَّنْتَني

وَلَوْ قَهَرْتَ الْمَوْتَ أَمَّنْتَني

مِنْهُ وَأَدْخًلْتَنِي الْجِنَّهْ

مِنْهُ وَأَدْخًلْتَنِي الْجِنَّهْ

And had you conquered death, you would have made me safe

Had you triumphed over death, you'd have secured me

from it and admitted me to Paradise.

From it and led me into paradise.

فَكَيْفَ لاَ أَنْشُرُهَا مِنَّةً

فَكَيْفَ لاَ أَنْشُرُهَا مِنَّةً

قَدْ عَرَفَتْهَا الإِنْسُ وَالْجِنَّهْ

قَدْ عَرَفَتْهَا الإِنْسُ وَالْجِنَّهْ

So how could I not proclaim this favor,

How could I not recite it as a favor

which humankind and jinn have already known?

When mankind and jinn alike know of it?
