لا نسيم الصبا إذا هب وهنا

وبريق الحمى إذا الليل جنا

The morning breeze when it blows gently,

And the fever's glitter when the night covers us,

يذاكرني وصال من قد جفاني

وأطال الصدود عني وضنا

Remind me of the affection of one who has estranged me,

And prolonged his disdain and indifference towards me,

وتناسى العهود عهداً وجارى

بالإساءة منه حسناً وحسنا

And forgot his promises and covenants,

Repaying my good deeds with harm again and again,

لا أبالي به ولكن حلماً

واحتمالاً عمن جنى وتجنى

I do not care about him, but with forbearance

And tolerance for one who wronged me and kept wronging me,

قبح اللَه ذا الزمان فكم قد

هد للأكرمين سوراً وركنا

Cursed be this time that

Leveled the honorable and destroyed our pillar and cornerstone,

وبنى للئام دوراً وسوراً

وأشاد لهم رباعاً وحصنا

And built homes and walls for the vile,

And erected for them mansions and fortresses,

خذ يميناً عنهم وسر في طريق

مستقيم إلى النعيم المهنا

Take the right path away from them, and tread

The straight path to eternal bliss,

رحمة اللَه جنة اللَه خلدا

وبقاء ولذة ليس تفنى

The mercy of God, the paradise of God, and everlasting

Pleasure that will never end,

في جوار الحبيب خير البرايا

والخليل الجليل عضلاً ومنا

In the company of the Beloved, the best of creations,

And the revered and noble Friend,

والإله الكريم منهم قريب

قد رضي عنهم فأعطى وأثنى

And the Generous God is near them,

Pleased with them, rewarding and praising them,

وصلاة الإله في كل حين

لنبي الهدى فرادى ومثنى

And may the prayer of God at all times,

Be upon the Guide Prophet, alone and together.
