O you who make the well-frequented mosque await
O maker of the crowded mosque an expectant one,
beauties from it, newly fashioned in their qualities,
Of new beautiful descriptions from it,

فلاso may not خلاbe empty منكof you لاneither صفّa prayer row ولاnor جمعهa Friday gathering
فلا خلا منك لا صفّ ولا جمعه
you have left the heat of longing within our breasts;
You left free rein to yearning in our hearts,
so may neither prayer row nor Friday gathering ever be without you.
So no company but yours, neither row nor assembly.
