لِيَهْنك أنّ الصومَ فرضٌ مؤكَّدٌ

لِيَهْنك أنّ الصومَ فرضٌ مؤكَّدٌ

من الله مفروضٌ على كلّ مسلمِ

من الله مفروضٌ على كلّ مسلمِ

May it gladden you that fasting is a firmly established obligation,

Rejoice that fasting is an obligation affirmed

Prescribed by God for every Muslim;

Imposed by Allah on every Muslim

وأنَّك مفروضُ المحبّة مِثله

وأنَّك مفروضُ المحبّة مِثله

علينا بحقٍّ قلتُ لا بالتّوهّم

علينا بحقٍّ قلتُ لا بالتّوهّم

And that loving you is obligatory, just like it,

And that you are imposed with love like it

Upon us—I speak in truth, not from conjecture.

Upon us in truth, not by delusion

فَهُنِّئْتَه يا مَنْ به الله قابِلٌ

فَهُنِّئْتَه يا مَنْ به الله قابِلٌ

من الخَلْق فيه كلَّ نُسْكٍ مقدَّمِ

من الخَلْق فيه كلَّ نُسْكٍ مقدَّمِ

So may you be congratulated on it, O you through whom God accepts

So congratulations, O you with whom Allah is pleased

From humankind, during it, every offered act of worship.

Among people, every ritual act takes precedence

ولا زلتَ منصوراً على فَرْض صَومِه

ولا زلتَ منصوراً على فَرْض صَومِه

ومعتصِماً بالله من كلّ مَحرم

ومعتصِماً بالله من كلّ مَحرم

And may you ever be aided in fulfilling its obligatory fast,

And you remain victorious over the obligation of his fasting

And seek refuge in God from every forbidden thing.

And adhering to Allah from all prohibited

فأنتَ نصَرتَ العدلَ ثم نشرتَه

فأنتَ نصَرتَ العدلَ ثم نشرتَه

وجُزْت ببَذْل العُرْف حَدَّ التكّرم

وجُزْت ببَذْل العُرْف حَدَّ التكّرم

For you championed justice, then spread it,

For you have supported justice, then spread it

And, by bestowing kindness, surpassed the bounds of generosity.

And were rewarded with benevolence, the utmost generosity

ولست براضٍ بذلك الجُودَ أوّلاً

ولست براضٍ بذلك الجُودَ أوّلاً

إذا لم تُعِدْه ثانياً وتتَمم

إذا لم تُعِدْه ثانياً وتتَمم

And you are not content with that first act of generosity,

And I am not pleased with that generosity at first

Unless you repeat it a second time and complete it,

If you do not repeat it a second time and complete it

إلى أن رأيتَ الجودَ فَدّاك ناطقاً

إلى أن رأيتَ الجودَ فَدّاك ناطقاً

ونادتْ بك العَلْياء وهي بلا فَمِ

ونادتْ بك العَلْياء وهي بلا فَمِ

Until you saw Generosity speak, saying, 'May I be your ransom!'

Until I saw your generosity, may it ransom you, speaking

And lofty Glory hailed you, though it has no mouth.

And the glorious called you, though without mouth

وصلّى عليك اللهُ يا من تجاوزَتْ

وصلّى عليك اللهُ يا من تجاوزَتْ

بدولَته الأيّام عن كلّ مُعدِمِ

بدولَته الأيّام عن كلّ مُعدِمِ

And may God bless you, O you for whom the days have shown forbearance,

And may Allah bless you, O you who transcended

Under your rule, toward every destitute person.

With your state, the days beyond all vanishing
