رَبَّ النَّدى والجودِ وال

مجدِ ورَبَّ الشَّمَمِ

O Lord of dew, generosity, glory,

And Lord of the bright sun,

ومَن يقومُ ذِكرُه

كالمِسك في كُلِّ فمِ

He whose remembrance is like musk

In every mouth,

قَدِمتُ عن شوقٍ لِكَى

أراكَ رَغمَ سَقَمي

I came longing for You,

To see You despite my illness,

لكنَّ حظي لَم يُسا

عِدني فزادَ ألَمَي

But my luck did not help me,

Only increasing my pain,

أَلله أَرجوهُ بأن

يَجمعَ شَملِي بكُمُ

O God, I hope of Him

To reunite me with you,

وأرتَجي يا سيدي

ردّ جَوابي مِنكمُ

And I hope, my master,

You answer me,

لأنَّني مُسافِرٌ

قصدَ الدَّوا سَلِمتُمُ

For I am a traveler

Seeking treatment, may you be well,

لا زلتَ في أوجِ العُلا

ولأخِيكم دُمتُمُ

You remain at the height of glory,

While I, your brother, miss you.
