اللَهُ مَولى دَنانيرٍ وَمَولائي

اللَهُ مَولى دَنانيرٍ وَمَولائي

بِعَينِهِ مَصبَحي فيها وَمَمسائي

بِعَينِهِ مَصبَحي فيها وَمَمسائي

God is Dananir's protector and mine;

God is the Master of my dinars and my Master

God is the Master of Dananeer, and my Master too,

under His eye are my mornings and evenings of love for her.

With His eyes my morning in which I rise and my evening

Under His watchful eye are my mornings and evenings spent in her thrall.

صَليتُ مِن حُبِّها نارَينِ واحِدَةً

صَليتُ مِن حُبِّها نارَينِ واحِدَةً

بَينَ الضُلوعِ وَأُخرى بَينَ أَحشائي

بَينَ الضُلوعِ وَأُخرى بَينَ أَحشائي

From love of her, I have burned in two fires: one

I suffered from love of Her two fires, one

I have burned with two fires from her love: one

between my ribs, and another amid my entrails.

Between my ribs and another between my intestines

Raging between my ribs, and another deep within my vitals.

وَقَد حَمَيتُ لِساني أَن أُبينَ بِهِ

وَقَد حَمَيتُ لِساني أَن أُبينَ بِهِ

فَما يُعَبِّرُ عَنّي غَيرُ إيمائي

فَما يُعَبِّرُ عَنّي غَيرُ إيمائي

And I have restrained my tongue from revealing my love;

And I've burnt my tongue from explaining with it

I have guarded my tongue from revealing a single word,

so nothing speaks for me but my gestures.

So nothing expresses me but my gestures

So that nothing speaks for me now except my silent signs.

يا وَيحَ أَهلِيَ أَبلى بَينَ أَعيُنِهِم

يا وَيحَ أَهلِيَ أَبلى بَينَ أَعيُنِهِم

عَلى الفِراشِ وَما يَدرونَ ما دائي

عَلى الفِراشِ وَما يَدرونَ ما دائي

Alas for my family! I waste away before their eyes,

Oh woe to my family! I've wasted away before their eyes

Alas for my kin! I waste away before their very eyes,

on the bed, while they do not know what ails me.

On the mattress and they don't know what my illness is

Upon my bed, while they know not what my ailment is.

لَو كانَ زُهدُكِ في الدُنيا كَزُهدُكِ في

لَو كانَ زُهدُكِ في الدُنيا كَزُهدُكِ في

وَصلي مَشَيتِ بِلا شَكٍّ عَلى الماءِ

وَصلي مَشَيتِ بِلا شَكٍّ عَلى الماءِ

If your renunciation of the world were like your renunciation of

If your asceticism in the world were like your asceticism in

If your renunciation of the world matched your renunciation of

union with me, you would surely walk on water.

Uniting with me I would undoubtedly walk on water

My embrace, you would surely walk upon the water.
