كَم قَد جَعَلَ الفُؤادَ داراً وَسَكَن

كَم قَد جَعَلَ الفُؤادَ داراً وَسَكَن

مِن رَبِّ مَلاحَةٍ وَلامَ مِثلَ سَكِن

مِن رَبِّ مَلاحَةٍ وَلامَ مِثلَ سَكِن

How many have made the heart a home and dwelt there—

How often has the heart made a home and lived

Lords of beauty—and reproached one like Sakin!

With a Lord so gentle, no reproach or blame, only peace.

مَلَّكتُكَ روحي وَفُؤادي فَلِذا

مَلَّكتُكَ روحي وَفُؤادي فَلِذا

أَختارُ بِأَن تَكونَ إِلفاً وَسَكَن

أَختارُ بِأَن تَكونَ إِلفاً وَسَكَن

I have made you master of my soul and my heart; therefore

I have given You my soul and my heart, so of course

I choose that you be a companion and a haven.

I choose for You to be intimacy and peace.
