إلى أبي العَلَميْنِ الرَّكْبُ قَدْ عَرجتْ

إلى أبي العَلَميْنِ الرَّكْبُ قَدْ عَرجتْ

به الرِّجالُ وأمَّتْ خيرَ مُنْعرجِ

به الرِّجالُ وأمَّتْ خيرَ مُنْعرجِ

To Abu al-ʿAlamayn the caravan has been led upward,

To the father of two worlds the caravan has climbed

by the men, who sought the finest turning place.

With it men have ascended and reached the best ascent

تَسلَّقتْ ذِرْوةً بالعزِّ شامخةً

تَسلَّقتْ ذِرْوةً بالعزِّ شامخةً

فحاضَرتْها بِمرْقى القَلبِ لا الدَّرجِ

فحاضَرتْها بِمرْقى القَلبِ لا الدَّرجِ

They climbed a summit towering in glory,

It scaled a lofty peak with glory

then hastened to it by the heart's ascent, not by stairs.

And attained it with the ascent of the heart, not of steps

أُعيدَ مَقطوعُها بالوَصلِ مُبْتهجاً

أُعيدَ مَقطوعُها بالوَصلِ مُبْتهجاً

ورُدَّ مَكروبُها يَختالُ بالفَرجِ

ورُدَّ مَكروبُها يَختالُ بالفَرجِ

Its estranged one was restored through union, rejoicing,

Its severed one was returned, joyous with reunion

and its anguished one was brought back, striding proudly with relief.

And its anguished one restored, exulting in relief
