طَرَقَ الخَيالُ المُعتَري

طَرَقَ الخَيالُ المُعتَري

وَهناً فُؤادَ العاشِقِ

وَهناً فُؤادَ العاشِقِ

The visiting phantom came

The imagination knocked

at night to the lover's heart.

And weakened the lover's heart

طَيفٌ أَلَمَّ فَهاجَني

طَيفٌ أَلَمَّ فَهاجَني

لِلبَينِ أُمَّ مُساحِقِ

لِلبَينِ أُمَّ مُساحِقِ

A phantom visited, then stirred me

An apparition pained me, agitating me

over parting, O Umm Musahiq.

For the estranged, mother of pulverizers

الآنَ أَبصَرتُ الهُدى

الآنَ أَبصَرتُ الهُدى

وَعَلا المَشيبُ مَفارِقي

وَعَلا المَشيبُ مَفارِقي

Now I have seen the right way,

Now I have seen the right way

and grayness has covered my hair's partings.

And old age parted from me

وَتَرَكتُ أَمرَ غوايَتي

وَتَرَكتُ أَمرَ غوايَتي

وَسَلَكتُ قَصدَ طَرائِقي

وَسَلَكتُ قَصدَ طَرائِقي

And I have abandoned my wayward course,

And I left the matter of my temptation

and followed the straight course of my paths.

And took the purpose of my ways

وَلَقَد رَضيتُ بِعَيشِنا

وَلَقَد رَضيتُ بِعَيشِنا

إِذ نَحنُ بَينَ حَدائِقِ

إِذ نَحنُ بَينَ حَدائِقِ

And indeed I was content with our life,

And I was content with our life

when we were among gardens,

When we were between gardens

وَرَكائِبٌ تَهوي بِنا

وَرَكائِبٌ تَهوي بِنا

بِينَ الدُروبِ فَدابِقِ

بِينَ الدُروبِ فَدابِقِ

and riding camels sped along with us

And mounts that plunge us

between the passes and Dabiq.

Between the paths, competing
