And return to the radiant assembly

مَا كانَ شَأْنُكَ ها هُنَا

مَا كانَ شَأْنُكَ ها هُنَا

َيْنَ المَخَازِي والشُّرُورْ

َيْنَ المَخَازِي والشُّرُورْ

What business had you right here,

This was not your place

among disgraces and evils?

Among the vulgarities and evils

تِلْكَ الشوَائِبُ لَمْ تكُنْ

تِلْكَ الشوَائِبُ لَمْ تكُنْ

لِتَشُوبَ فِطْرَتَكَ الطَّهُورْ

لِتَشُوبَ فِطْرَتَكَ الطَّهُورْ

Those impurities were not meant

to taint your pure nature.

To taint your pure nature

From the mud of dust while still light

فَحَبَّذَا هَذَا المصِيرْ

And you have escaped the ravages of life—

And you survived the war of life

how welcome, then, is this fate!

So blessed be this fate
