جُد وعد مُغرماً هجرتَ مَليا

جُد وعد مُغرماً هجرتَ مَليا

وَكَذا من سلا وكانَ خَليا

وَكَذا من سلا وكانَ خَليا

Be generous, and return to one enamored whom you have abandoned for long;

Be generous, and visit a lovesick man you have long forsaken,

And he clothed one who had forgotten love and had lived carefree.

And likewise one who has forgotten love and was free of it.

يا مَلياً بالحُسنِ لبَّيكَ بالإح

يا مَلياً بالحُسنِ لبَّيكَ بالإح

سانِ والعطفِ حيثُ كنتَ مليا

سانِ والعطفِ حيثُ كنتَ مليا

O you abounding in beauty, I am at your service with benev—

O you rich in beauty, at your service with kind-

—olence and tenderness, since you are fully able,

ness and tenderness, since you are well endowed;

وعليا عن مشبهٍ ونظيرٍ

وعليا عن مشبهٍ ونظيرٍ

قد كساهُ الإلَهُ حُسناً جَليَّا

قد كساهُ الإلَهُ حُسناً جَليَّا

And exalted above every likeness or peer.

And you, exalted above any likeness or equal,

God has manifestly clothed him in your beauty.

Whom God has clothed in manifest beauty.

بأبي أنتَ من بديعِ جمالٍ

بأبي أنتَ من بديعِ جمالٍ

صارَ مولىً له بهِ ووَليَّا

صارَ مولىً له بهِ ووَليَّا

My father be your ransom—you, one of wondrous beauty!

My father be your ransom, you marvel of beauty,

Through it, your patron became an ally and protector to him.

Who, through it, became his master and protector.
