يا لَمعَةَ البَرقِ بَل يا هَبَّةَ الريحِ

يا لَمعَةَ البَرقِ بَل يا هَبَّةَ الريحِ

روحي بِجِسمي إِلى مَن عِندَهُ روحي

روحي بِجِسمي إِلى مَن عِندَهُ روحي

O flash of lightning—nay, O gust of wind!

O flash of lightning, nay, O gust of wind

Go, bearing my body, to the one with whom my soul dwells.

My soul with my body to the one in whom my soul resides

خُذي لَهُم مِن سَلامي عَنبَراً عَبِقاً

خُذي لَهُم مِن سَلامي عَنبَراً عَبِقاً

وَأَوقِدِيهِ بِنارٍ مِن تَباريحي

وَأَوقِدِيهِ بِنارٍ مِن تَباريحي

Take them fragrant ambergris from my greeting,

Take to them from my greetings a fragrant ambergris

And kindle it with fire from my torments.

And kindle it with a fire from my sighs

ناشَدتُكِ اللَهَ إِلّا كُنتِ مُخبِرَةً

ناشَدتُكِ اللَهَ إِلّا كُنتِ مُخبِرَةً

عَنّي بِأَنَّهُمُ ذِكري وَتَسبيحي

عَنّي بِأَنَّهُمُ ذِكري وَتَسبيحي

I adjure you by God to bear word

I adjure you by God, be one to inform them

From me that they are my remembrance and my praise.

That they are my remembrance and my glorification
