هَهُنَا تَمْلُكُ الْمَهَابَةُ قَلْبِي

هَهُنَا تَمْلُكُ الْمَهَابَةُ قَلْبِي

لِدُنُوِّي مِنَ الضَّريِحِ الْمُفَدَّى

لِدُنُوِّي مِنَ الضَّريِحِ الْمُفَدَّى

Here awe takes possession of my heart

As I draw near the ransomed tomb

As I draw near the cherished tomb.

Of life from that grave set free

هَهُنَا أَشْعُرُ الشُّعُورَ كَبِيراً

هَهُنَا أَشْعُرُ الشُّعُورَ كَبِيراً

بِحَيَاةٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْقَبْرِ تهْدَى

بِحَيَاةٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْقَبْرِ تهْدَى

Here I feel a profound sense

Indeed a grave where Christ lay hid

Of life bestowed from that grave.

Became a cradle of light and leading

إِنَّ لَحْداً فِيهِ الْمَسِيحُ تَوَارَى

إِنَّ لَحْداً فِيهِ الْمَسِيحُ تَوَارَى

صَارَ لِلْنُّورِ وَالهِدايَةِ مَهْدَا

صَارَ لِلْنُّورِ وَالهِدايَةِ مَهْدَا

Indeed, a tomb in which Christ lay hidden

A bird charmed by the lamp's light

Has become a cradle for light and guidance.

Sang out in the night

طائر غره ضوء المصباح

طائر غره ضوء المصباح

الكهربائي فغرد ليلا

الكهربائي فغرد ليلا

A bird was fooled by the light of the lamp—

The electric one—and so it sang at night.
