وَنَعودُ سَيِّدَنا وَسَيِّدَ غَيرِنا

وَنَعودُ سَيِّدَنا وَسَيِّدَ غَيرِنا

لَيتَ التَشَكِّيَ كانَ بِالعُوّادِ

لَيتَ التَشَكِّيَ كانَ بِالعُوّادِ

And we visit our lord in sickness, the lord of others too.

And we shall return, O our master, and master of all

Would that his suffering were borne by those who visit him.

Would that lamenting could restore the departed

لَو كانَ يَقبَلُ فِديَةً لَفَديتُهُ

لَو كانَ يَقبَلُ فِديَةً لَفَديتُهُ

بالمُصطَفى مِن طارِفي وَتِلادي

بالمُصطَفى مِن طارِفي وَتِلادي

If he would accept a ransom, I would ransom him

Had it been possible to offer my soul as ransom, I would have redeemed him

With the choicest of my newly acquired and inherited wealth.

With the Most Chosen of my people and possessions
