يا مَن لَهُ مِن بُعدِهِ بُعدُ

يا مَن لَهُ مِن بُعدِهِ بُعدُ

وَمَن لَهُ عَن صَدِّهِ صَدُّ

وَمَن لَهُ عَن صَدِّهِ صَدُّ

O you who are distant from your own distance,

O You Who are beyond reach, beyond grasp,

And who turn away from your own turning away,

And You Who cannot be deterred, cannot be stopped,

جُملَةُ ما عِندي وَتَفصيلُهُ

جُملَةُ ما عِندي وَتَفصيلُهُ

أَنَّكَ مَولى وَأَنا عَبدُ

أَنَّكَ مَولى وَأَنا عَبدُ

The sum of what I have to say, and its details,

In sum and in detail all I have,

Is that you are the master, and I the slave.

Is that You are my Master, and I Your servant.

فَدُم عَلى الوُدِّ لِمَن لا يَرى

فَدُم عَلى الوُدِّ لِمَن لا يَرى

بِعَينِ مَن لَيسَ لَهُ وُدُّ

بِعَينِ مَن لَيسَ لَهُ وُدُّ

So remain constant in love toward one who does not see

So let affection flow, for one who does not see

Through the eye of one who has no love.

With the eyes of one who bears no affection.
