حُبُّكُمْ عَلَّمَ الأنينَ فُؤادي

وأثارَ الأشواقَ في مَغْناهُ

Your love has taught my heart to pine,

And kindled longing's fire within my song,

وأضاءَتْ أجْزاؤُهُ بِسناكُمْ

فاسْتَضاءَتْ أرضُ الحِمى بِسَناهُ

Your radiance has illuminated every part,

And so the arid wastes are brightened by its glow.

بَعْدَ مَوْتٍ أحْيَيْتُموهُ بِقُرْبٍ

ولقد كانَ بُعْدُكُمْ أفْناهُ

To life you summoned me from death, when you were near,

Though when you left, to death you summoned me anew,

طارَ بعدَ الحَياةِ وَجْداً إليكمْ

حينَما طابَ باللِّقا مَحْياهُ

My spirit rose in joyful flight to you,

When sweet reunion banished all its fear.

قَلْبُ عَبدٍ عَفا وعادَ سَليماً

إنَّما العَبدُ ذُخْرُهُ مَوْلاهُ

A willing slave finds pardon and returns unharmed,

For only in his master rests a slave's true worth.
