1. بروق الغور تلمع في الدياجي

    فذكرني لييلات التناجي

    The lightning flashes of al-Ghawr gleam in the dark nights,

    so it reminded me of those few nights of whispered confidences,

  2. وأياماً خلت في طيب عيش

    بوادي الخير ما بين الفجاج

    and days gone by in the sweetness of living,

    in the Valley of Goodness, among the mountain passes;

  3. وأحباباً وأصحاباً كراماً

    من البيت المشرف بالسراج

    and loved ones and noble companions

    from the house honored by the Lamp;

  4. وغيد طاهرات زاهرات

    بأسمار تصان عن اللجاج

    and graceful maidens, pure and radiant,

    with nighttime conversations kept free of wrangling.

  5. فهل ذاك الزمان يعود يوماً

    ويأذن كل كرب بانفراج

    So will that time return one day,

    and every distress give way to relief,

  6. فيصبح كل حب في سكون

    ويمسي كل مؤذ في انزعاج

    so that every beloved greets the morning in peace,

    and every tormentor meets the evening in disquiet,

  7. بلطف اللَه كشاف البلايا

    تعالى لا يخيب فيه راجي

    through the kindness of God, the Dispeller of afflictions?

    Exalted is He; no one who hopes in Him is disappointed.

  8. نؤمله ونرجوه دواماً

    يقوم ما هناك من اعوجاج

    We look to Him and hope in Him unceasingly,

    that He may set right whatever crookedness is there,

  9. ويشملنا بعافية وعفو

    فنضحي في سرور وابتهاج

    and enfold us in well-being and pardon,

    so we may spend the morning in joy and delight,

  10. ببركة أحمد خير البرايا

    شفيع الكل يوم الإرتجاج

    through the blessing of Ahmad, the best of creation,

    intercessor for all on the Day of Trembling.

  11. عليه اللَه صلى كل حين

    وسلم ملجا للَه لاجي

    May God send blessings upon him at every moment,

    and grant him peace—a refuge for one who seeks refuge in God.
