يا مَنْ حَصَلْتَ على الكمالِ بِما رَأَتْ

يا مَنْ حَصَلْتَ على الكمالِ بِما رَأَتْ

عَيْنايَ منهُ مِنَ الجَمال الرَّائعِ

عَيْنايَ منهُ مِنَ الجَمال الرَّائعِ

O you who have attained perfection, as shown by what

O you who gained perfection from what

My eyes have seen of your dazzling beauty:

My eyes have seen of splendid beauty

قمرٌ يَرُوقُ وفي عِطافَيْ بُردِهِ

قمرٌ يَرُوقُ وفي عِطافَيْ بُردِهِ

ما شِئْتَ من كَرَمٍ ومَجْدٍ بارِعِ

ما شِئْتَ من كَرَمٍ ومَجْدٍ بارِعِ

A moon that enchants; within the two folds of his mantle

A moon pleasing in its gentle breeze

Is all you could wish of generosity and surpassing glory.

With whatever generosity and brilliance you wished

أَشكُو إليكَ من الزَّمانِ تحامُلاً

أَشكُو إليكَ من الزَّمانِ تحامُلاً

فِيْ فضِّ شَمْلٍ لي بِقُربكَ جامِعِ

فِيْ فضِّ شَمْلٍ لي بِقُربكَ جامِعِ

I complain to you of Time's oppression

I complain to you of time's oppression

In scattering the fellowship your nearness held together for me.

In dissolving our closeness with your nearness

هَجَمَ البعادُ عَليه ضَنّاً باللِّقا

هَجَمَ البعادُ عَليه ضَنّاً باللِّقا

حَتَّى تَقلَّص مثلَ بَرْقٍ لامِعِ

حَتَّى تَقلَّص مثلَ بَرْقٍ لامِعِ

Separation assailed it, begrudging us reunion,

Distance attacked it stingily with meeting

Until it faded like a flash of lightning.

Until it shrank like a flashing lightning bolt

فَلَوَ اَنَّني ذُو مَذْهبٍ لِشَفاعةٍ

فَلَوَ اَنَّني ذُو مَذْهبٍ لِشَفاعةٍ

نادَيْتُه يا مالكي يا شافعي

نادَيْتُه يا مالكي يا شافعي

So, if I followed a school of intercession,

If only I had some means of intercession

I would call to him: 'O my master, O my intercessor!'

I would call to you "My Protector, my Intercessor"
