قَصَدْتُكَ يَا مَثْوَى الإِمَامِ ابْنِ غَالِبِ

لِأَنْقَذَ مِنْ هَمٍّ بِقَلْبِي غَالِبِ

I sought you, O dwelling of Imam Ibn Ghālib

I have sought you, O resting place of the Imam Ibn Ghalib,

To rescue from sorrow my heavily burdened heart

To be saved from an overwhelming grief within my heart.

فَفِيكَ الذِي يَشْفِي القُلُوبَ مِنَ الضَّنَى

وَيُبْرِيءُ مَنْ أَضْنَاهُ لَسْعُ النَّوَائِبِ

For in you is that which heals hearts from grief

For within you is he who cures hearts of their wasting sickness,

And cures those stung by the vipers of misfortune

And heals whoever has been exhausted by the sting of calamities.
