لم تعرفِ الدّنيا كحُبِّ محمدٍ

لم تعرفِ الدّنيا كحُبِّ محمدٍ

حُباً تجاوزَ في تساميهِ المدى

حُباً تجاوزَ في تساميهِ المدى

The world has never known a love like the love of Muhammad,

The world has not known a love like the love of Muhammad

A love that, in its sublimity, has surpassed all bounds.

A love that transcended in its sublimity all bounds

مَن لم يذُق في العُمرِ لذّةَ حُبهِ

مَن لم يذُق في العُمرِ لذّةَ حُبهِ

أنّا لهُ يلقى لِحُبٍ مَورِدا

أنّا لهُ يلقى لِحُبٍ مَورِدا

Whoever has not tasted in life the delight of his love—

Whoever has not tasted in life the sweetness of his love

How can he find a wellspring of love?

Will find for a love like his, ever a yearning to slake

ياربّ أسعِدنا برؤيةِ وجههِ

ياربّ أسعِدنا برؤيةِ وجههِ

فالشوقُ زادَ مع الحياةِ توقُّدا

فالشوقُ زادَ مع الحياةِ توقُّدا

O Lord, gladden us with the sight of his face,

My Lord, make us happy with the sight of his face

For longing has grown more ardent as life goes on.

For longing with life has only gained in its fervor

صلّى عليكَ إِلهُنا ما أشرَقتْ

صلّى عليكَ إِلهُنا ما أشرَقتْ

شمسٌ وما لبّى المُصلّون الندا

شمسٌ وما لبّى المُصلّون الندا

May our God bless you as long as there rises

Blessings on you from our God for as long as shines

A sun, and as long as worshippers answer the call.

The sun and worshipers answer aloud to prayer's call
