O you sound of body, may you never be deprived of your sleep.

May your body be well when you awaken

And may you enjoy your sleep as long as you live.

And you gain strength throughout your days awake

ارحمِ المبتلى الكئيبَ الذي يَش

ارحمِ المبتلى الكئيبَ الذي يَش

كو إلى اللَهِ وجدَهُ وبعادَك

كو إلى اللَهِ وجدَهُ وبعادَك

Have mercy on the afflicted, sorrowful one who

Have mercy on the distressed melancholy one who

complains to God of his longing and your absence.

Yearns for God, finds Him, yet longs for you

كُن رؤوفاً بهِ وأنعِم عليهِ

كُن رؤوفاً بهِ وأنعِم عليهِ

وخفِ اللَهَ واذكرَنَّ معادَك

وخفِ اللَهَ واذكرَنَّ معادَك

Be compassionate toward him and bestow kindness upon him.

Be kind to him and bestow favor upon him

And fear God, and surely remember your final return.

And fear God and recall your inevitable death

ثم عدهُ ولو يكون ولا كن

ثم عدهُ ولو يكون ولا كن

تَ سقيماً كان يكون بعادَك

تَ سقيماً كان يكون بعادَك

Then visit him, even if he should be—and may you never be—

Then excuse him though he may not have been

ill: your absence would be [the cause].

Ill, he would have been had you been away
