1. لي نحو طيبة أشواق تغالبُني

    والوجد كاد من الأشواق يبريني

    My longings for Taybah overwhelm me.

    And passion has nearly worn me away with longing.

  2. وقلة المال والأسقام تقعدني

    والحب ينشرني طورا ويطويني

    And lack of money and ailments hold me back.

    And love unfolds me at times and folds me up.

  3. من لي بقبر رسول الله أنظره

    وأطلب العفو في الدنيا وفي الدين

    Who will let me behold the tomb of God's Messenger,

    And seek pardon in this world and in matters of faith?

  4. فهذه حاجتي بالشوق أرسلها

    وهذه بغيتي من قبل تكويني

    So this is my need; I send it forth with longing.

    And this has been my desire since before my creation.

  5. فانظر إلي رسول الله في سقمى

    فإن نظرتك العلياء تشفيني

    So look upon me, O Messenger of God, in my sickness.

    For your exalted gaze will heal me.

  6. ومد نحوى يدا باللطف تجذبني

    إلى حماك فإن القرب يحييني

    And extend a hand toward me, drawing me with kindness

    To your sanctuary, for nearness to you gives me life.

  7. وانظر لأهلى وفرعي مع ذوى رحمى

    وإخوتي وعموم الصحب في الدين

    And look after my family and my offspring, together with my kin,

    And my brothers, and all companions in the faith.

  8. فتلك أمنيتي باللطف أطلبها

    فاسمع نداي فهذا القدر يكفيني

    That, then, is my wish; I seek it through your kindness.

    So hear my call, for this much is enough for me.

  9. أنت الحبيب الذي ترجى شفاعته

    يوم القيامة يوم الحشر والدين

    You are the beloved whose intercession is hoped for

    On the Day of Resurrection, the day of gathering and judgment.

  10. صلى عليك إله العرش ما سجعت

    ورق الحمى فوق أغصان البساتين

    May the God of the Throne bless you as long as they coo—

    The sanctuary's gray doves above the branches of the gardens.
