يا ساكنين نعمان

عطفاً على المكروب

O dwellers of Naʿmān,

Show compassion to the grief-stricken,

الهائم الولهان

الذاهل المغلوب

The wandering, lovesick one,

Distraught and overwhelmed,

من دمعه شنان

في خده مسكوب

Whose tears stream forth,

Poured upon his cheek,

من فرقة الأوطان

والشادن الرعوب

From parting with his homelands

And the timid young gazelle.

ذاك الذي حبه في مهجتي ساكن

وبغيتي قربه والكل له راكن

That is the one whose love dwells in my inmost heart.

And my desire is nearness to him, and all lean toward him.

اللَه يسرع به للشيق الساهن

تسكن به الأشجان ويحصل المطلوب

May God bring him swiftly to the yearning, languishing lover.

Through him sorrows subside, and what is sought is attained.

متى متى يا صاح تقضي لنا الأوطارا

من راحة أنس الحمى والجار

When, when, O friend, will you fulfill our wishes

For the comfort of fellowship with the sanctuary and the neighbor,

وتكمل الأفراح وتنجلي الأكدار

يا رب يا رحمن فرج عن المكروب

And will joys become complete, and troubles clear away?

O Lord, O Most Merciful, lift distress from the grief-stricken.

واجبر له كسره وأصلح له أمره

وأطلق له سره واشرح له صدره

And mend his brokenness, and put his affairs right.

And set his inner secret free, and expand his breast.

واشدد له أزره واغفر له وزره

يا دائم الإحسان شكرك علينا الدؤوب

And strengthen his back, and forgive him his burden of sin.

O Ever-Bountiful, unceasing thanks to You are our duty.
