يا مَن بَصَرَ في إِلَيهِ القَصدَ بِدَّلَني

بِالذُلِّ عِزّاً وَبِالإِقلالِ إِكثارا

O you who aimed his sight toward me as the goal, you replaced

My humiliation with honor and my scarcity with abundance,

وَمَن بِإِعدامِ صَبري عَنهُ أَوجَدَني

وَجَدا عَلَيهِ بِهِ أَمسَيتُ صَبّارا

And you who, by annihilating my patience, brought me into existence

A new finding that made me steadfast regarding it,

وَمَن بِقَصِّ جَناحي في هَواهُ لَهُ

إِلى أَعالي المَعالي صِرتُ طَيّارا

And you who by clipping my wings in passion for you

Made me soar to the highest heights,

حَسنُ اِتِّكالي عَلى حُسنِ اِختِيارِكَ لي

لَميُبقِ لي غَيرَ ما تَحتارُ مُختارا

The excellence of my dependence on the excellence of your choice for me

Left me with no alternative but that which you deliberate upon and choose,

وَالعَونُ مِنكَ عَلى شانِيَّ صَيّرَني

مُهاجِراً مَن إِلى حُبّيكَ أَنصارا

And the support from you for my status made me

An emigrant who found in your love helpers.
