جِئتُكَ مِن بَلدَةٍ مُبارَكَةٍ

جِئتُكَ مِن بَلدَةٍ مُبارَكَةٍ

أَقطَعُها بِالذَميلِ وَالعَنَقِ

أَقطَعُها بِالذَميلِ وَالعَنَقِ

I came to you from a blessed town,

I came to you from a blessed town

traversing it at an easy trot and a brisk, long-striding pace.

I traverse with determination and pride

أَمُتُّ بِالوُدِّ وَالقَرابَةِ وَالنُ

أَمُتُّ بِالوُدِّ وَالقَرابَةِ وَالنُ

صحِ وَقَطعي إِلَيكُمُ عُلقى

صحِ وَقَطعي إِلَيكُمُ عُلقى

I appeal through affection, kinship, and sincere

I die for love, kinship, advice and my ties to you are strong

counsel, and through severing my ties to reach you.

And by Him to whom the people make pilgrimage wearing robes

وَإِنَّني وَالَّذي يَحُجُّ لَهُ

وَإِنَّني وَالَّذي يَحُجُّ لَهُ

الناسُ بِخِرقٍ سِواكَ لَم أَثِقِ

الناسُ بِخِرقٍ سِواكَ لَم أَثِقِ

And indeed I—by Him for whom pilgrimage is made

Except you, I have not trusted

by the people—have trusted no generous man but you.

You remain forgiving of sins and releasing the tied rope of the one guilty

ما زَلتَ في العَفوِ لِلذُنوبِ وَإِط

ما زَلتَ في العَفوِ لِلذُنوبِ وَإِط

لاقِ لِعانٍ بِجُرمِهِ غَلِقِ

لاقِ لِعانٍ بِجُرمِهِ غَلِقِ

You have never ceased pardoning sins and setting

To the point where the innocent wish that with you

free a captive held fast by his crime,

They had become, through time, intimate and connected

حَتّى تَمَنّى البُراءُ أَنَّهُمُ

حَتّى تَمَنّى البُراءُ أَنَّهُمُ

عِندَكَ أَمسوا في القِدِّ وَالحَلَقِ

عِندَكَ أَمسوا في القِدِّ وَالحَلَقِ

until the innocent wished that they

had come to be with you in leather bonds and iron rings.
