يا رَب بَدري غابَ عَن طَرفي وَفي

سحب النَوى طول المَدى يَتحجب

O Lord, the full moon has vanished from my sight,

And in the clouds of sorrow, it remains obscured.

يا رَب أَنساني بِدَمعي غارِقٌ

وَالقَلب في نار الجَوى يَتلهب

O Lord, my tears immerse me in their flood,

As my heart burns in the fire of longing.

يا رَب إِني عَن فُؤادي راحل

وَالجسم ثاوٍ بِالضَنا يَتَقَلب

O Lord, I am departing from my soul,

While my body tosses and turns in agony.

يا رَب ضَيف الطَيف زارَ وَلَم يَعُد

فَمَتى إِلى دار المُتَيم يقرب

O Lord, the phantom came to visit but did not stay,

So when will he come near the home of the bereft?

يا رَب فَاِجمَع شَملَنا مُتَفَضِلاً

فَلمنَك لا مِن فَضل غَيرِكَ أَطلُبُ

O Lord, be merciful and unite us,

For it is only your grace that I seek, and none else.
