يا مَن لصَبّ قد جفاه هجوعه

فرثت له بالوصل ثَم دموعُه

O you whose ardour was cooled by his aloofness

Whose tears then flowed in longing for reunion

نار البعاد بقلبه مذ غُرست

قد سعرت ما تحتويه ضلوعه

The fire of separation, once ignited in his heart

Has set ablaze all that lies within his ribs

مهما تناسى الحب أذكره به

برق يُحركه إليه ولوعه

However much he tries to forget love, remind him of it

With a flash that stirs in him a painful yearning

كاد الغرام يُضله لو لم يكن

لمديح خير العالمين رجوعه

Passion almost led him astray, had he not

Returned to praising the best of all creation

أزكى البرية خير من وطئ الثرى

وأصوله سادت به وفروعه

The finest of all creation, better than any who tread earth

His roots exalted, branches spread through his lineage

وبه ملاذ العبد عند مَعاده

مهما رأى الأهوال فيه تروعه

In him the servant finds refuge, when facing terror

No matter what horrors make him tremble in fear

صلى عليه اللَه جلّ جلاله

ما غاب نجم واستهلّ طلوعه

Blessings upon him, Allah, His majesty sublime

From first star's rising to the sun's ascent
