يا آل عمران إنّ الله فضلكم

بمريم بنت عمران التي كملتْ

O family of Imran, indeed Allah has favored you

With Maryam, daughter of Imran, who was perfected

بما رآه الذي لله كفلها

من العناية فيما فيه قد كفلتْ

By what the Protector of Allah saw fit for her

Of care, wherein she was perfected

أتى إليها وفي محرابها طبق

فقال ماذا فقالت رتبة عجلت

He came to her while she was in her prayer niche

So he said “What is this?” She said “It is a quick provision”

خذها إليكم فإنَّ الله أطلعكم

لتسألوه فإن النفسَ ما بخلت

“Take it to yourselves, for Allah has made you see

That you may ask Him, for the soul was not stingy”

فكان يحيى حصوراً مثلها وبها

لهمة من أبيه عنده حَصلت

So John was a devout worshipper like her, and through him

An ambition from his father was fulfilled

فاستفرغت طاقة الإنسان حالتها

هذي مقالتها لو أنها سئلت

So the capacity of man exhausted its state

This would be its statement, if it was asked

لقد نظرت إليها وهي سافرةٌ

فما به فصلت به لها وصلت

I looked at her while she was uncovered

Yet through what disconnected her, she was connected

فانظر إليها وسلمها لخالقعا

فإن نفسك تُجزي بالذي عملت

So look to her Giver and deliver her

For your soul will be rewarded for what it did
