لبستْ جاريةٌ من يدنا

لبستْ جاريةٌ من يدنا

خرقةً نالت بها عينَ الكمالِ

خرقةً نالت بها عينَ الكمالِ

A maiden donned, from our hand,

A maid of ours has donned

a patchwork robe through which she attained perfection itself;

A rag with which she attained the height of perfection.

خرقةً دينيةً عُلوية

خرقةً دينيةً عُلوية

ألحقتْها بمقاماتِ الرجالِ

ألحقتْها بمقاماتِ الرجالِ

a religious, heavenly robe

A religious, transcendent rag

that brought her to the spiritual stations of men.

She has attached to the stations of men.

وكذاك الله قد ألبسها

وكذاك الله قد ألبسها

ثوبَ عزٍّ وقبولٍ وجَمالِ

ثوبَ عزٍّ وقبولٍ وجَمالِ

And likewise God has clothed her

And thus has God clothed her

in a garment of honor, acceptance, and beauty,

In a robe of dignity, acceptance, and beauty,

وضياءٍ وسناءٍ وسنا

وضياءٍ وسناءٍ وسنا

واعتدالٍ وبَهاءٍ وجلالِ

واعتدالٍ وبَهاءٍ وجلالِ

and radiance, eminence, and light,

And splendor, glory, and brilliance,

and balance, splendor, and majesty.

And balance, radiance, and majesty.

كلَّما أبصرتُها غيَّبني

كلَّما أبصرتُها غيَّبني

ما أرى من حسن دَلٍّ ودلالِ

ما أرى من حسن دَلٍّ ودلالِ

Whenever I behold her, I am lost to myself

Whenever I look upon her, she takes me away

by the beauty I see in her charm and coquetry.

From all I see of the charm of curves and allure.

حَفِظَ الله عليها عهدها

حَفِظَ الله عليها عهدها

وعلينا حفظُها طولَ الليالي

وعلينا حفظُها طولَ الليالي

May God preserve her covenant for her,

May God preserve her vow

and we must safeguard her through all the nights.

And ours to guard her through the long nights.
