يا صَباحَ الحَبيبِ كيفَ نَراكا

يا صَباحَ الحَبيبِ كيفَ نَراكا

إن تكُن صالِحاً فدُمتَ كَذاكا

إن تكُن صالِحاً فدُمتَ كَذاكا

O morning of the beloved, how do we behold you?

O morning of the beloved, how do we see you

If you are well, may you remain so.

If you are well, may you stay that way

نمتُ بالجسمِ لا بجسمكَ مما

نمتُ بالجسمِ لا بجسمكَ مما

لا أرى ما أحبُّ حتى أراكا

لا أرى ما أحبُّ حتى أراكا

I slept in body, not in yours, for

I slept with my body, not with your body, from what

I see nothing I love until I see you.

I do not see what I love until I see you

فَيكونَ السقامُ بي ما سَقاني

فَيكونَ السقامُ بي ما سَقاني

مِن ضَنىً لا أملهُ ما سَقاكا

مِن ضَنىً لا أملهُ ما سَقاكا

So let sickness be mine; whatever it has made me drink

So sickness will be in me what quenched me

Of wasting illness, I do not weary of it; it has not made you drink it.

From the thirst that I do not hope what quenched you

لستُ ممن يملُّ ما كانَ من عب

لستُ ممن يملُّ ما كانَ من عب

دِكَ هذا روحي وَهذا هَواكا

دِكَ هذا روحي وَهذا هَواكا

I am not one who tires of what came from your serv-

I am not of those who are bored of what was from the worship

ant: this is my soul, and this is my love for you.

Of you this is my soul and this is your love
