حينwhen بانَdeparted الخليطُthe company وازدادَand increased وجديmy longing
حين بانَ الخليطُ وازدادَ وجدي
قلتI said والدمعand the tears فيon الخدودِthe cheeks يسيلwere flowing
قلت والدمع في الخدودِ يسيل
When the company departed and my longing grew,
When the mixture appeared and my passion increased
I said, as tears streamed down my cheeks:
I said, with tears flowing down my cheeks,
ياO رسوليmy messenger إليهto him روحيَmy soul خذهاtake it
يا رسولي إليه روحيَ خذها
منجداًheading for Najd إِثرهin his wake بهاwith it ياO رسولُmessenger
منجداً إِثره بها يا رسولُ
O my messenger to him, take my soul,
O my Messenger, take my soul to Him
Heading for Najd in his wake with it, O messenger.
Following it, O Messenger, my savior
