قُل لِأَسماءَ أَنجِزي الميعادا

قُل لِأَسماءَ أَنجِزي الميعادا

وَاُنظُري كَي تُزَوِّدي مِنكِ زادا

وَاُنظُري كَي تُزَوِّدي مِنكِ زادا

Tell Asma: Fulfill the promise,

Tell Asma to keep the promise,

And see that you give me sustenance from yourself.

And see how you can provide yourself with provisions.

إِن تَكوني حَلَلتِ رَبعاً مِنَ الشا

إِن تَكوني حَلَلتِ رَبعاً مِنَ الشا

مِ وَجاوَرتِ حِميَراً وَمُرادا

مِ وَجاوَرتِ حِميَراً وَمُرادا

If you have settled in an abode in al-Shā—

If you have pitched your tent a quarter way through the desert,

—m, and dwelt beside Himyar and Murad,

And dwelled near donkeys seeking their goal,

فَإِذا ما سَمِعتِ مِن نَحوِ أَرضي

فَإِذا ما سَمِعتِ مِن نَحوِ أَرضي

هائِماً قَد يَموتُ أَو قيلَ كادا

هائِماً قَد يَموتُ أَو قيلَ كادا

Then, when you hear from the direction of my land

And if you hear from somewhere near my land

Of a lovesick wanderer who may die, or is said to have nearly died,

Of one wandering who dies or nearly does,

فَاِعلَمي عِلمَ موقِنٍ أَنَّني ذا

فَاِعلَمي عِلمَ موقِنٍ أَنَّني ذا

كَ وَبَكّي لِمُقصِدٍ إِقصادا

كَ وَبَكّي لِمُقصِدٍ إِقصادا

Know with certainty that I am that—

Know with certainty that it is I,

—one, and weep bitterly for one struck down outright.

Weeping for one I intended to reach.
