ياجامِعَ الشَملِ بَعدَما اِفتَرَقا
قَدِّر لِعَيني بِمَن أُحِبُّ لِقا
O gatherer of those parted, grant
My eyes the joy of seeing those I love.
وَيا مُجيرَ المُحِبِّ مِن فَرَقِ ال
فِراقِ عَجِّل وَأَذهِبِ الفَرَقا
O shelterer of lovers from parting's woes,
Hasten and do away with separation.
عافِ مِنَ السُقمِ مُبتَلىً بِهَوى
مانَفَعَت فيهِ عوذَةٌ وَرُقى
Heal one afflicted with love's malady,
Against which charms and talismans avail not.
أَجِر بِوَصلِ الحَبيبِ قَلبِيَ مِن
طَوارِقِ الهَجرِ وَاِفتَحِ الطُرُقا
Save my heart from parting's perils,
Open again the paths of union.
وَلا تُسَلِّط أَذى الفِراقِ عَلى
ضَعفي فَما لي عَلى الفِراقِ بَقا
Let not the pain of parting tyrannize
My frailty, for I cannot endure it.
وَلا تُؤاخِذ فَلَستُ أَوَّلَ مَن
بِخَيسِ عَهدِ الحِسانِ قَد وَثَقا
Reproach me not, for I am not the first
To break faith's covenant and betray it.
أَنا الَّذي رامَ مِن أَحِبَّتِهِ
حَظّاً بِلُقياهُم فَما رُزِقا
I who yearned to meet beloved ones,
Yet was not granted that felicity.
وَهَل مُطيقٌ عَلى النَوى جَلَداً
صَبٌّ لِغَيرِ الغَرامِ ما خُلِقا
Can one feign indifference to love
When by nature he was not created thus?
أَحِبَّتي ما الَّذي أَضَرَّ بِكُم
قُربِيَ بَعدَ النَوى لَوِ اِتَّفَقا
My loved ones, what harm to you
If after professing love we met?
جودوا وَعودوا فَدَيتُكُم دَنِفاً
نِضوَ سَقامٍ عَلى الفِراشِ لَقى
Be generous, keep faith, I ransom you
A bedridden wretch upon his sickbed.
حَسِبتُ يَومَ الوَداعِ أَنَّ مَعي
قَلبي وَلَم أَدرِ أَنَّهُ سُرِقا
The day we parted, I thought my heart
Still with me, but knew not it was stolen.
إِنَّ فُؤادي فَراشُ شَوقِكُمُ
صادَفَ نارَ الغَرامِ فَاِحتَرَقا
My heart is a moth, burned with longing,
Having met love's fire, to ashes turned.
وَإِنَّ وَجدِيَ الَّذي أَراقَ دَمَ ال
عَينِ لَدَمعٌ أَهدى لَها الأَرَقا
My tears that stained my cheeks with blood
Are tears insomnia gifted in its vigil.
واعَجَباً لايَزالُ ذا ظَمَإٍ
إِنسانُ عَينٍ بِدَمعِها غَرِقا
How strange that one with thirst unquenched
Should drown, o man, in his own tears!
قَد أَظلَمَت عيشَتي وَلَستُ أَرى
إِلّا بِكُم مَشرِقاً لَها أُفُقا
My life is darkened, I see no dawn,
Unless with you, no gladdening horizon.
فَأَسأَلُ اللَهَ أَن يُعيدَكُمُ
وَيَجمَعُ الشَملَ بَعدَما اِفتَرَقا
So I beseech God once more to reunite us,
And gather those now parted after separation.
