يا رفيقي في الخيالِ

يا رفيقي في الخيالِ

وعَذيري في الضَلالِ

وعَذيري في الضَلالِ

O my companion in imagination,

O my companion in imagination,

and the one who excuses me in my straying,

And my defender in delusion,

وزيلي في هُيامي

وزيلي في هُيامي

حولَ أخدارِ المُحالِ

حولَ أخدارِ المُحالِ

my comrade in my rapture,

And my companion in my passionate wandering

around the curtained chambers of the impossible—

Around the secluded chambers of the impossible,

سر بنا نطلب فِكراً

سر بنا نطلب فِكراً

لم يجُل قطُّ ببالِ

لم يجُل قطُّ ببالِ

come, let us seek a thought

Lead us on to seek a thought

that has never once crossed a mind;

That has never crossed a mind,

واترُك الناسَ يَهيمونَ

واترُك الناسَ يَهيمونَ

بمالٍ ومآلِ

بمالٍ ومآلِ

and leave the people to wander, lovestruck,

And leave people infatuated

after wealth and destiny.

With wealth and their eventual fate.
