أَيا عَينُ جودي وَلا تَسأَمي

أَيا عَينُ جودي وَلا تَسأَمي

وَحُقَّ البُكاءُ عَلى السَيِّدِ

وَحُقَّ البُكاءُ عَلى السَيِّدِ

O eye, pour forth tears and do not grow weary.

O my eyes, keep shedding tears generously,

And weeping is due for the master,

And crying for the Master is a rightful duty,

عَلى ذي الفَواضِلِ وَالمَكرُماتِ

عَلى ذي الفَواضِلِ وَالمَكرُماتِ

وَمَحضِ الضَريبَةِ وَالمَحتِدِ

وَمَحضِ الضَريبَةِ وَالمَحتِدِ

for him of virtues and noble deeds,

For the one with sublime virtues and favors,

and of pure character and lineage;

And sheer honesty and revered piety,

عَلى خِندِفِ القَومِ عِندَ البَلا

عَلى خِندِفِ القَومِ عِندَ البَلا

ءِ أَمسى يُغَيَّبُ في مُلحَدٍ

ءِ أَمسى يُغَيَّبُ في مُلحَدٍ

for the people's Khindif in times of trial,

The tribe's refuge in times of adversity,

now hidden away in a burial niche.

Now laid to rest in a simple shroud steadily,

فَصَلّى الإِلهُ إِلهُ العِبادِ

فَصَلّى الإِلهُ إِلهُ العِبادِ

وَأَهلُ البِلادِ عَلى أَحمَدِ

وَأَهلُ البِلادِ عَلى أَحمَدِ

So may God, the God of His servants, send blessings,

May God, the Lord of all creation,

and the people of the lands invoke blessings upon Ahmad.

And the people of the land pray for Ahmed,

فَكَيفَ الإِقامَةُ بَعدَ الحَبيـ

فَكَيفَ الإِقامَةُ بَعدَ الحَبيـ

ـبِ بَينَ المَحافِلِ وَالمَشهَدِ

ـبِ بَينَ المَحافِلِ وَالمَشهَدِ

How, then, can we remain after the beloved,

How can one stay after the beloved’s tragedy,

among the assemblies and the gathering place?

Among gatherings and crowds normally?

فَلَيتَ المَماتَ لَنا كُلِّنا

فَلَيتَ المَماتَ لَنا كُلِّنا

وَكُنّا جَميعاً مَعَ المُهتَدي

وَكُنّا جَميعاً مَعَ المُهتَدي

If only death were ours, all of us,

Oh that death would take us altogether,

and we were all together with the rightly guided one.

And we would all be with the rightly guided leader
