يا مسبل الستر لا تكشفه عن رجل

يا مسبل الستر لا تكشفه عن رجل

لا يلتجي أبداً إلا إلى كرمك

لا يلتجي أبداً إلا إلى كرمك

O you who let the veil fall, do not lift it from a man

O you who conceal with a veil, do not unveil it from a man

who never seeks refuge except in your generosity.

Who will never take refuge except in your generosity

واستر عليه ولا تهتك سريرته

واستر عليه ولا تهتك سريرته

بقول من يستحل الضيف في حرمك

بقول من يستحل الضيف في حرمك

And keep him veiled; do not lay bare his secret

And conceal him, and do not violate his privacy

at the word of one who deems the guest fair game in your sanctuary.

With the words of one who makes lawful the guest in your sanctum

وهذه هذه فامنن عليه بها

وهذه هذه فامنن عليه بها

مضافة نحو ما أوليت من نعمك

مضافة نحو ما أوليت من نعمك

And this—this—grant it to him as a favor,

And this, this, so bestow upon him with it

added to the blessings you have bestowed.

In addition to what you have been endowed with blessings
