يا حبيبا أغرى القلوب فأضحى

يا حبيبا أغرى القلوب فأضحى

كل قلب به رهين أسار

كل قلب به رهين أسار

O beloved who beguiled hearts, so that

O beloved who captivates hearts, so every heart is now your prisoner,

Every heart became his captive, held in bonds;

Then he turned away, so they followed in his tracks like musk scent spreading in the desert.

ثم ولى فسرن في إثره مس

ثم ولى فسرن في إثره مس

ترشدات بطيبه في القفار

ترشدات بطيبه في القفار

Then he turned away, and they journeyed in his wake,

Stay as my counsel, you who knows the remedy for longing and waiting,

Seeking guidance from his fragrance through the wilderness.

For with you is the cure, so grant me your favor for nothing else suffices if your nearness does not shine.

دمت مستفتيا وأنت عليمٌ

دمت مستفتيا وأنت عليمٌ

بعلاج الأشواق والانتظار

بعلاج الأشواق والانتظار

You have kept seeking counsel, though you know well

The cure for yearning and waiting.

ولديك الدواء فامنن وما ذا

ولديك الدواء فامنن وما ذا

ك إذا اسطعت غير قرب المزار

ك إذا اسطعت غير قرب المزار

And you hold the remedy, so bestow it graciously—what is that,

If you can, but being near enough to visit?
