أَيَّتُها النَفسُ إِلَيهِ اِذهَبي

أَيَّتُها النَفسُ إِلَيهِ اِذهَبي

فَما لِقَلبي عَنهُ مِن مَذهَبِ

فَما لِقَلبي عَنهُ مِن مَذهَبِ

O soul, go to him,

O soul, go to Him

For my heart has no escape from him.

For my heart has no other refuge

مُفَضَّضُ الثَغرِ لَهُ نُقطَةٌ

مُفَضَّضُ الثَغرِ لَهُ نُقطَةٌ

مِن عَنبَرٍ في خَدِّهِ المُذهَبِ

مِن عَنبَرٍ في خَدِّهِ المُذهَبِ

Silver-mouthed, he has a spot

His parted lips have a spot

Of ambergris on his gilded cheek.

Of ambergris on his gilded cheek

أَنسانِيَ التَوبَةَ مِن حُبِّهِ

أَنسانِيَ التَوبَةَ مِن حُبِّهِ

طُلوعُهُ شَمساً مِنَ المَغرِبِ

طُلوعُهُ شَمساً مِنَ المَغرِبِ

What made me forget repenting of my love for him

His beauty makes me forget repentance

Was his rising as a sun from the west.

His rising is a sun from the west
