لَكَ الوَيلُ مِن عَيني خُبَيبٍ وَثابِتٍ

لَكَ الوَيلُ مِن عَيني خُبَيبٍ وَثابِتٍ

وَحَمزَةَ أَشباهِ الحِداءِ التَوائِمِ

وَحَمزَةَ أَشباهِ الحِداءِ التَوائِمِ

Woe to you from the eyes of Khubayb and Thabit,

Woe to you from the eyes of Khubayb and Thabit,

And Hamza, resembling twin kites.

And Hamza, peers of firm resolve,

تُخَبِّرُ مَن لاقَيتَ أَنَّكَ عائِذٌ

تُخَبِّرُ مَن لاقَيتَ أَنَّكَ عائِذٌ

بِلَ العائِذُ المَظلومُ في سِجنِ عارِمِ

بِلَ العائِذُ المَظلومُ في سِجنِ عارِمِ

You tell whomever you meet that you seek refuge;

Inform whoever you meet that you take refuge

Rather, the wronged seeker of refuge is in the prison of Arim.

In Allah - the oppressed takes refuge from tyranny in the Almighty's prison,

وَمَن يَرَ هَذا الشَيخَ بِالخَيفِ مِن مِنىً

وَمَن يَرَ هَذا الشَيخَ بِالخَيفِ مِن مِنىً

مِنَ الناسِ يَعلَم أَنَّهُ غَيرُ ظالِمِ

مِنَ الناسِ يَعلَم أَنَّهُ غَيرُ ظالِمِ

And whoever sees this elder at al-Khayf in Mina—

And whoever sees this venerable man fleeing from Minā

From among the people—knows that he is no wrongdoer:

From the people knows that he is not an oppressor,

وَصِيُّ النَبِيِّ المُصطَفى وَاِبنُ عَمِّهِ

وَصِيُّ النَبِيِّ المُصطَفى وَاِبنُ عَمِّهِ

وَفَكّاكُ أَغلالٍ وَقاضي مَغارِمِ

وَفَكّاكُ أَغلالٍ وَقاضي مَغارِمِ

The chosen Prophet's appointed successor and his cousin,

The successor of Al-Mustafā the Prophet, and his cousin,

And a breaker of shackles and a payer of debts.

The remover of shackles and judge of disputes,

أَبى فَهوَ لا يَشري هُدىً بِضَلالَةٍ

أَبى فَهوَ لا يَشري هُدىً بِضَلالَةٍ

وَلا يَتَّقي في اللَهِ لَومَةَ لائِمِ

وَلا يَتَّقي في اللَهِ لَومَةَ لائِمِ

He refuses, so he does not trade guidance for error,

He refused and thus does not give guidance through misguidance,

Nor does he fear anyone's reproach in God's cause.

And does not, for Allah, fear the blame of any blamer,

وَنَحنُ بِحَمدِ اللَهِ نَتلو كِتابَهُ

وَنَحنُ بِحَمدِ اللَهِ نَتلو كِتابَهُ

حُلولاً بِهَذا الخَيفِ خَيفِ المَحارِمِ

حُلولاً بِهَذا الخَيفِ خَيفِ المَحارِمِ

And we, praise be to God, recite His Book,

And we, by the grace of Allah, recite His Book,

Dwelling at this Khayf, the Khayf of sacred precincts,

As a diversion in this modest place, the abode of the sacred,

بِحَيثُ الحَمامُ آمِنُ الرَوعِ ساكِنٌ

بِحَيثُ الحَمامُ آمِنُ الرَوعِ ساكِنٌ

وَحَيثُ العَدُوُّ كَالصَديقِ المُسالِمِ

وَحَيثُ العَدُوُّ كَالصَديقِ المُسالِمِ

Where the doves are safe from fright and at rest,

Where the doves are safe from alarm and settled in tranquility,

And where the enemy is like a peaceable friend.

And where the enemy is like a friendly peacemaker,

فَما وَرَقُ الدُنيا بِباقٍ لِأَهلِهِ

فَما وَرَقُ الدُنيا بِباقٍ لِأَهلِهِ

وَلا شِدَّةُ البَلوى بِضَربَةِ لازِمِ

وَلا شِدَّةُ البَلوى بِضَربَةِ لازِمِ

For worldly wealth will not endure for its owners,

The leaves of worldly life do not last for its people,

Nor is the severity of affliction a lasting blow.

Nor do intense afflictions always remain,

فَلا تَجزَعَن مِن شِدَّةٍ إِنَّ بَعدَها

فَلا تَجزَعَن مِن شِدَّةٍ إِنَّ بَعدَها

فَوارِجَ تَلوي بالخُطوبِ العَظائِمِ

فَوارِجَ تَلوي بالخُطوبِ العَظائِمِ

So do not be dismayed by hardship; surely after it come

So do not despair from any severity, for after it

Deliverances that sweep away mighty calamities.

Come burdensome events that twist mighty affairs,
