اذهَب بجِسمي إلى المَنونِ مَعك

اذهَب بجِسمي إلى المَنونِ مَعك

فإنَّ نأي الحبيبِ قد صدعَك

فإنَّ نأي الحبيبِ قد صدعَك

Take my body with you to death.

Take my body to death with you

For separation from the beloved has shattered you.

For the absence of the beloved has shattered you

يا قلبُ قد طالَ ما ابتُليتَ بهِ

يا قلبُ قد طالَ ما ابتُليتَ بهِ

فاشكُ إلى اللَهِ جاهداً وجعَك

فاشكُ إلى اللَهِ جاهداً وجعَك

O heart, long have you been afflicted by it.

O heart, long have you been afflicted

So complain earnestly to God of your pain.

So pour out your woes earnestly to God

وادعُ على البَينِ واشتكِ جَزَعاً

وادعُ على البَينِ واشتكِ جَزَعاً

لعلَّ مولاكَ أن يرى جزعَك

لعلَّ مولاكَ أن يرى جزعَك

And pray against separation, and complain in anguish.

And lament the separation, complain ardently

Perhaps your Lord will see your anguish.

Perhaps your Master will see your agony

واحسن يقيناً موثقاً أملاً

واحسن يقيناً موثقاً أملاً

والقربُ والبعدُ نحِّها طمَعَك

والقربُ والبعدُ نحِّها طمَعَك

And strengthen your certainty, making your hope firm.

And nourish unwavering, certain hope

And put aside your longing for nearness and distance.

For nearness and distance are governed by your longing
