ضريحك يا حبيب غدا جناناً

ضريحك يا حبيب غدا جناناً

عليه نفوس أهل المجد حامت

عليه نفوس أهل المجد حامت

Your tomb, O Habib, has become a paradise.

Your tomb, my beloved, has now become a paradise

Above it hovered the souls of the illustrious.

Where the souls of the glorious have hovered

وبعدك ذاب يا سندي فؤادي

وبعدك ذاب يا سندي فؤادي

وداري بالدموع الحمر عامت

وداري بالدموع الحمر عامت

And after you were gone, O my mainstay, my heart melted.

And after you, my support, melted is my heart

And my home swam in crimson tears.

And my home with red tears has overflowed

ترى تلك المحاسن يا حبيبي

ترى تلك المحاسن يا حبيبي

كما كانت عليك اليوم دامت

كما كانت عليك اليوم دامت

I wonder whether those beauties, my beloved,

Do you see those beauties, my beloved

have remained with you today, just as they were.

That were upon you, and have remained

لقد كنّوك بالنحاس ظلماً

لقد كنّوك بالنحاس ظلماً

وذاتك جوهر باللطف قامت

وذاتك جوهر باللطف قامت

Indeed, they unjustly dubbed you al-Nahhas,

They have unjustly likened you to bronze

And your essence was a jewel, sustained by gentleness,

While your essence with kindness has stood

وسامت بالكمال فقلت أرخ

وسامت بالكمال فقلت أرخ

فنفس حبيبٍ بالرضوان سامت

فنفس حبيبٍ بالرضوان سامت

And soared in perfection; so I said, 'Record the date:'

And adorned with perfection, so I said, "Relax"

'For Habib’s soul has soared in divine favor.'

For the soul of a beloved with contentment has risen
