أصبَحتَُ مِثلَ الجَنانِ في الصَّدرِ

أصبَحتَُ مِثلَ الجَنانِ في الصَّدرِ

أصونُ ما أحتَوِيهِ كَالسِّرِّ

أصونُ ما أحتَوِيهِ كَالسِّرِّ

I have become like the heart in the breast;

You have become like gardens in my heart

I guard what I contain like a secret.

I protect what it contains like a secret

في خَيرِ قَصرٍ تُريكَ ساحَتُهُ

في خَيرِ قَصرٍ تُريكَ ساحَتُهُ

في مَطلعِ الشَّمسِ مَطلعَ البَدرِ

في مَطلعِ الشَّمسِ مَطلعَ البَدرِ

In the finest palace, whose courtyard shows you

In the best palace its courtyard shows you

at the sun’s rising, the rising of the full moon.

At sunrise, the rising of the full moon

كأنَّنِي في جِدَارِ مَجلِسِهِ

كأنَّنِي في جِدَارِ مَجلِسِهِ

عَينٌ وَبابِي جَفنٌ بِلا شَفرِ

عَينٌ وَبابِي جَفنٌ بِلا شَفرِ

As though I were, in the wall of its hall,

It's as if I'm in the wall of its chamber

an eye, and my door an eyelid without lashes.

An eye, and my eyelid a door without latch

فلتَدعُ يَا مُبصِرِي لِسَاكِنِهِ

فلتَدعُ يَا مُبصِرِي لِسَاكِنِهِ

بِالسَّعدِ وَالمُلكِ آخِرَ الدَّهرِ

بِالسَّعدِ وَالمُلكِ آخِرَ الدَّهرِ

So pray, O you who behold me, for its inhabitant,

So leave, my witness, the dweller in it

for good fortune and kingship until the end of time.

With fortune and kingdom until the end of time
