لَوْ عَنَّ لِي عَوْنٌ مِنَ الِمْقدَارِ

لَهَجَرْتُ لِلدَّارِ الكَرِيمَةِ دَارِي

If fate would grant me aid

I'd leave my noble home behind

وَحَلَلْتُ أَطْيَبَ طِينَةٍ مِنْ طِيبَة

جَاراً لِمَنْ أَوْصَى بِحِفْظِ الجَارِ

And settle in the blessed lands of Taibah

Neighboring he who urged protection for neighbors

وَرَكَعْتُ فِي صَحْنٍ هُنالِكَ طَاهِراً

وَكَرَعْتُ فِي مَعْنٍ هُنالِكَ جارِي

And in that pure and sacred courtyard bow

And from that flowing spring drink deep

حَيْثُ اسْتَنَارَ الحَق لِلأَبْصَارِ

لمِّا اسْتَثَارَ حَفائِظَ الأَنْصارِ

Where truth shone bright before all eyes

When Ansar's protectors were implored

لَكِنْ عَلَيَّ لَها أَدَاءُ الفَرْضِ مِنْ

طُولِ النِّزاعِ وَشِدَّةِ التّذْكارِ

But obligation chains me still

Through strife and memories that will not fade

يا زَائِرينَ القَبْرَ قَبْرَ مُحَمَّدٍ

بُشْرَى لَكُمْ بِالسَّبْقِ فِي الزُّوَّارِ

O you who visit the tomb, the Prophet's tomb

Good tidings, for you lead all other visitors

أَوْضَعْتُمُ لِنَجاتِكُمُ فَوَضَعْتُم

ما آدَكمْ منْ فَادِحِ الأَوْزَارِ

You placed yourselves for salvation

And avoided grave and heavy sins

فُوزُوا بِسَبْقِكُمُ وَفُوهُوا بِالذِي

حَمَّلْتُكُمْ شَوْقاً إِلَى المُخْتَارِ

Rejoice in your advance and speak of one

Who filled you with desire for the Chosen One

أَدُّوا السَّلامَ سَلِمْتُمُ وَبِرَدِّهِ

أَرْجُو الإجارَةَ مِنْ وُرُودِ النَّارِ

Give greetings, you are safe, and in their return

I hope to find deliverance from hell's fire

ثُم اشْفَعُوا لِي فَالشَّفاعَةُ عِنْدَهُ

فِيهَا أُبَوَّأُ رُتبَة الأَبْرَارِ

Then intercede for me, for intercession is

The means by which I'll join the righteous
