حُبُّكُمْ عَلَّمَ الأنينَ فُؤادي

حُبُّكُمْ عَلَّمَ الأنينَ فُؤادي

وأثارَ الأشواقَ في مَغْناهُ

وأثارَ الأشواقَ في مَغْناهُ

Love for you taught my heart to moan,

Your love has taught my heart to pine,

And stirred longings in its abode.

And kindled longing's fire within my song,

وأضاءَتْ أجْزاؤُهُ بِسناكُمْ

وأضاءَتْ أجْزاؤُهُ بِسناكُمْ

فاسْتَضاءَتْ أرضُ الحِمى بِسَناهُ

فاسْتَضاءَتْ أرضُ الحِمى بِسَناهُ

And its parts shone with your radiance,

Your radiance has illuminated every part,

So the sanctuary's land was lit by its radiance.

And so the arid wastes are brightened by its glow.

بَعْدَ مَوْتٍ أحْيَيْتُموهُ بِقُرْبٍ

بَعْدَ مَوْتٍ أحْيَيْتُموهُ بِقُرْبٍ

ولقد كانَ بُعْدُكُمْ أفْناهُ

ولقد كانَ بُعْدُكُمْ أفْناهُ

After death, you revived it through nearness,

To life you summoned me from death, when you were near,

And indeed, separation from you had destroyed it.

Though when you left, to death you summoned me anew,

طارَ بعدَ الحَياةِ وَجْداً إليكمْ

طارَ بعدَ الحَياةِ وَجْداً إليكمْ

حينَما طابَ باللِّقا مَحْياهُ

حينَما طابَ باللِّقا مَحْياهُ

After returning to life, it flew to you in yearning,

My spirit rose in joyful flight to you,

When meeting made its life sweet—

When sweet reunion banished all its fear.

قَلْبُ عَبدٍ عَفا وعادَ سَليماً

قَلْبُ عَبدٍ عَفا وعادَ سَليماً

إنَّما العَبدُ ذُخْرُهُ مَوْلاهُ

إنَّما العَبدُ ذُخْرُهُ مَوْلاهُ

A servant's heart that had faded away and became whole again.

A willing slave finds pardon and returns unharmed,

The servant's sole treasure is his master.

For only in his master rests a slave's true worth.
