1. إذا ما دعا داعيكم قمتُ مسرعاً

    مجيباً لمولى جل ليس له مثلُ

    Whenever your caller calls, I rise in haste,

    Responding to an exalted master who has no equal.

  2. أجيبُ اذا نادى بسمعٍ وطاعةٍ

    ولي نشوةٌ لبيك يا من له الفضل

    I answer when he calls, listening and obeying.

    And rapture is mine: at your service, O you to whom bounty belongs!

  3. ويصفرُّ لوني خيفةً ومهابةً

    ويشغلني عن كل شغلٍ بكم شغلُ

    And my complexion turns yellow with fear and awe.

    And preoccupation with you keeps me from every other occupation.

  4. وحقكم ما لذَّ لي غيرُ ذكرِكُم

    وذكرُ سواكم في فمي قطُ لا يحلو

    And by your honor, nothing has been sweet to me but remembrance of you.

    And mention of anyone but you never tastes sweet in my mouth.

  5. متى تجمع الايام بيني وبينكم

    ويفرح مشتاق اذا اجتمع الشمل

    When will the days bring me together with you,

    And one who yearns rejoice when we are reunited?
