مَضى اللَيلُ وَالفَضلُ الَّذي لَكَ لا يَمضي
وَرُؤياكَ أَحلى في العُيونِ مِنَ الغُمضِ
The night has passed, but your virtues do not fade away,
The night has passed, yet your bounty does not pass away,
And the sight of you is sweeter in my eyes than closing them.
And the sight of you is sweeter to the eyes than slumber.
عَلى أَنَّني طُوِّقتُ مِنكَ بِنِعمَةٍ
شَهيدٌ بِها بَعضي لِغَيري عَلى بَعضي
Though you have granted me such bounty as surrounds me,
For I have been encircled by a favor from your hand,
Parts of me bear witness to it, more than others.
Of which one part of me bears witness to the other.
سَلامُ الَّذي فَوقَ السَمَواتِ عَرشُهُ
تُخَصُّ بِهِ يا خَيرَ ماشٍ عَلى الأَرضِ
May He whose throne is above the heavens,
The peace of Him whose Throne is raised above the heavens,
Grant you, best of those who walk the earth, His peace.
Be yours alone, O best of all who tread the earth.
