وما على الأرضِ قَلبٌ طيبٌ كأبي

حنانهُ صيّبٌ والعطفُ مِدرارُ
And no heart on earth is as kind as my father's.
No heart on earth is as kind as my father's,
His tenderness is a downpour, and his compassion pours abundantly.
His affection is gentle, his kindness overflows.

يبيتُ في ضيقةٍ إن مسّني ألمٌ
كأَنّماas though أُشعِلَتwas kindled فيin قَلبهhis heart النارُthe fire
كأَنّما أُشعِلَت في قَلبه النارُ
He spends the night in distress if pain touches me,
Whenever pain makes me cry,
As though fire had been kindled in his heart.
It's as if a fire burns in his heart.
فيرفعُso he raises الكفّthe palm للرحمنِto the Most Merciful مُبتهلاًimploring
فيرفعُ الكفّ للرحمنِ مُبتهلاً
حتىuntil أنامَI fall asleep وماand there are no فيin الروحِthe soul أكدارُsorrows
حتى أنامَ وما في الروحِ أكدارُ
So he raises his hand to the Most Merciful in supplication,
He raises his hand to the Most Merciful, pleading,
Until I fall asleep, with no sorrows in my soul.
Until I sleep, my spirit calm and clear.
مازالstill قلبُthe heart أبيof my father بالعطفِwith compassion يغمُرُنيfloods me
مازال قلبُ أبي بالعطفِ يغمُرُني
كأنهُas though it were البحرُthe sea والباقونand the others أنهارُrivers

My father's heart still floods me with compassion,
My father's heart still floods me with kindness,
As though it were the sea, and the others were rivers.
As though it were the sea, and rivers of basil.
