1. أَيُّها الرائِحُ المُجِد

    دُ وَأَنفاسُنا مَعَه

    O you who depart in haste,

    and our breaths are with him.

  2. سِرتَ في الحِفظِ وَالكِلا

    ءَةِ وَالأَمنِ وَالدَعَه

    May you travel in safekeeping and protection,

    and in safety and ease.

  3. وَتَلقّاكَ مِن مَنا

    زِلِكَ الرُحبُ وَالسَعَه

    And may there greet you, from your dwellings,

    spaciousness and ample room.

  4. كُلَّما اِستَشعَرَت فِرا

    قَكَ عادَت مُستَرجِعَه

    Whenever they sense your parting,

    they return, saying, 'To God we belong, and to Him we return.'

  5. وَفُؤادٌ حَنا الغَرا

    مُ عَلى الشَوقِ أَضلُعَه

    And a heart—love has bent

    its ribs around longing.

  6. وَجُفونٌ لِوَ شكِ بَي

    نِكَ بِالدَمعِ مُترِعَه

    And eyelids, at your impending parting,

    are brimming with tears.

  7. كَيفَ تَرقا عَينٌ لِمِثلِكَ

    أَمسَت مُوَدِّعَه

    How can an eye cease weeping for one like you,

    when it has come to bid farewell?
