إِنَّ بِلالاً لَم تَشِنهُ أُمُّهُ

إِنَّ بِلالاً لَم تَشِنهُ أُمُّهُ

لَم يَتَناسَب خالُهُ وَعَمُّهُ

لَم يَتَناسَب خالُهُ وَعَمُّهُ

Indeed, Bilal's mother brought him no disgrace.

His maternal and paternal uncles were not related.

يَشفي الصُداعَ ريحُهُ وَشَمُّهُ

يَشفي الصُداعَ ريحُهُ وَشَمُّهُ

وَيُذهِبُ الهُمومُ عَني ضَمُّهُ

وَيُذهِبُ الهُمومُ عَني ضَمُّهُ

His fragrance and breathing it in cure headaches.

And his embrace drives my worries away.

كَأَنَّ ريحَ المِسكِ مُستَحَمَّهُ

كَأَنَّ ريحَ المِسكِ مُستَحَمَّهُ

ما يَنبَغي لِلمُسلِمينَ ذَمُّهُ

ما يَنبَغي لِلمُسلِمينَ ذَمُّهُ

It is as though the scent of musk were his bath.

It is not fitting for Muslims to disparage him.

يُمضي الأُمورَ وَهوَ سامٍ هَمَّهُ

يُمضي الأُمورَ وَهوَ سامٍ هَمَّهُ

بَحرُ بُحورٍ واسِعٌ مَجَمُّهُ

بَحرُ بُحورٍ واسِعٌ مَجَمُّهُ

He carries affairs through, lofty in his ambition.

A sea among seas, vast is his reservoir.

يُفَرِّجُ الأَمرَ وَلا يَغُمُّهُ

يُفَرِّجُ الأَمرَ وَلا يَغُمُّهُ

فَنَفسُهُ نَفسي وَسَمّي سَمُّهُ

فَنَفسُهُ نَفسي وَسَمّي سَمُّهُ

He clears up a matter and does not cloud it.

So his soul is my soul, and my poison is his poison.
