لوْ أنّنِي فيكَ بذَلْتُ الدُّنا

لوْ أنّنِي فيكَ بذَلْتُ الدُّنا

حَسِبْتُها كالثّمَنِ البَخْسِ

حَسِبْتُها كالثّمَنِ البَخْسِ

If I were to lavish the worlds upon you,

If I spent my whole life for you

I would reckon them a paltry price.

I'd count it as the cheapest price

يا قُرّةَ العيْنِ وُقِيتَ الرّدَى

يا قُرّةَ العيْنِ وُقِيتَ الرّدَى

منْ أعْيُنِ الجنّةِ والإنْسِ

منْ أعْيُنِ الجنّةِ والإنْسِ

O delight of the eye, may you be spared death

O solace of my eyes protected from harm

From the eyes of jinn and humankind.

From the eyes of heaven and mankind

للّهِ ذِهْنٌ منْكَ مهْما سَرَى

للّهِ ذِهْنٌ منْكَ مهْما سَرَى

في مُشْكِلٍ لمْ يبْقَ منْ لَبْسِ

في مُشْكِلٍ لمْ يبْقَ منْ لَبْسِ

God be praised for that mind of yours! Whenever it ventures

God granted you a mind that when applied

Into a difficult problem, no ambiguity remains.

To any complex issue, doubt would cease

شَريعَةُ الآدابِ لمّا أتَتْ

شَريعَةُ الآدابِ لمّا أتَتْ

قامَتْ علَى أنْمُلِكَ الخَمْسِ

قامَتْ علَى أنْمُلِكَ الخَمْسِ

The law of letters, when it came,

The code of manners, when it came to be

Stood upon your five fingertips.

Stood on your five fingers tall with ease

وليْسَ بِدْعاً ما تخيّلْتَهُ

وليْسَ بِدْعاً ما تخيّلْتَهُ

لا يُنْكَر النّورُ علَى الشّمْسِ

لا يُنْكَر النّورُ علَى الشّمْسِ

And what you have imagined is nothing strange:

And it's no wonder you imagined it

The sun is not denied its light.

Light cannot be denied by the sun
