يا عَبدُ يا زَينَ العِبادِ

يا عَبدُ يا زَينَ العِبادِ

يا مانِعي طيبَ الرُقادِ

يا مانِعي طيبَ الرُقادِ

O Abd, O adornment of humankind,

O beloved servant, O beauty of worshipers

O you who deny me the sweetness of sleep.

O you who hinder the sweetness of sleep

ما حُلتُ عَنكَ وَلا أَمَر

ما حُلتُ عَنكَ وَلا أَمَر

تُ يَدى تَحُلُّ عُرى الوِدادِ

تُ يَدى تَحُلُّ عُرى الوِدادِ

I have not turned away from you, nor have I commanded

I have not turned away from you, nor did

my hand to loosen the bonds of affection.

your hand loosen the bonds of affection

فَأَعِد عَلَيَّ مِنَ الرِضا

فَأَعِد عَلَيَّ مِنَ الرِضا

ما فيهِ إِسخاطُ الأَعادي

ما فيهِ إِسخاطُ الأَعادي

So restore to me such favor

So grant me again your good pleasure

as will anger the enemies.

With nothing in it to displease enemies

فَوَحَقِ وَفدِ هَواكَ لا

فَوَحَقِ وَفدِ هَواكَ لا

زَحزَحتُ سِرَّكَ مِن فُؤادي

زَحزَحتُ سِرَّكَ مِن فُؤادي

So, by the sanctity of your love's delegation, never

By the right of those enraptured with you

have I dislodged your secret from my heart.

I'll never dislodge your secret from my heart
