يا من للعلى قد شاد بالفضل أسها

يا من للعلى قد شاد بالفضل أسها

ودع بقهر الباس من رام مسها

ودع بقهر الباس من رام مسها

O you who have raised the foundation of eminence through virtue,

O you who with merit has built lofty heights

and repelled with overwhelming might whoever sought to touch it.

And left with mighty power those who wished it harm

لك الفضل قد أهديت للنفس أنسها

لك الفضل قد أهديت للنفس أنسها

فهذي حذام قادت اليوم نفسها

فهذي حذام قادت اليوم نفسها

Yours is the credit: you have given the soul its solace.

To yourself you granted the merit, giving joy to the soul

So here is Hadhām, who today has led herself

So this is Hudham who today led himself

إلى ربعك المأنوس مسرورة القلب

إلى ربعك المأنوس مسرورة القلب

أتتنا فحلت من حمانا بربوة

أتتنا فحلت من حمانا بربوة

to your welcoming abode, joyful at heart.

To your familiar abode, his heart filled with joy

She came to us and alighted on a rise within our protected domain,

He came to us and descended from our worries lightly

وفازت من الإكرام منا بحبوة

وفازت من الإكرام منا بحبوة

وقد آذنت عنا إليك بنبوة

وقد آذنت عنا إليك بنبوة

and received from us a gift of honor.

And was graced by our generosity with a gift

She has announced her withdrawal from us toward you.

And has announced to you about us with prophecy

قضت حقنا وصلا فعادت بصبوة

قضت حقنا وصلا فعادت بصبوة

إليك لتضحى يا صاح منك بالقرب

إليك لتضحى يا صاح منك بالقرب

She fulfilled our due through fellowship, then returned with yearning

Fulfilling our right, returning with reconciliation

to you, so that she may be near you, my friend.

Back to you, oh friend, to become close to you

بها ضاق من وجد بكم واسع الفض

بها ضاق من وجد بكم واسع الفض

وما فترت من ذكر عهد لها مضى

وما فترت من ذكر عهد لها مضى

For her, the wide expanse has grown narrow with longing for you.

Through him the vastness of your grace narrowed

Nor has she tired of recalling a bygone bond of hers.

And did not cease mentioning a past covenant

وها هي قد عادت تعيد لما انقضى

وها هي قد عادت تعيد لما انقضى

فانعم عليها بالقبول وبالرضى

فانعم عليها بالقبول وبالرضى

And here she has returned, reviving what has passed.

And here he has returned to renew what has passed

So favor her with acceptance and approval,

So bestow upon him acceptance and pleasure

فقد أصبحت تختال من فرط العجب

فقد أصبحت تختال من فرط العجب

وما شغفت حبا بغير وليها

وما شغفت حبا بغير وليها

for she now struts in excessive self-admiration.

For he began strutting from extreme pride

And she is smitten with love for none but her patron,

And did not passionately love any but his patron

بديع الأيادي سمحها وعليها

بديع الأيادي سمحها وعليها

فيا حبها الأسمى بفضلك حيها

فيا حبها الأسمى بفضلك حيها

wondrous in his favors, generous and lofty in them.

The excellent hands, his forgiving and uplifting

So, O her most exalted beloved, greet her with your bounty,

Oh his most sublime love through your merit revive him

فليس سوى علياك كفؤاً لفيها

فليس سوى علياك كفؤاً لفيها

وكن مع تماديها صفوحاً عن العتب

وكن مع تماديها صفوحاً عن العتب

for nothing but your eminence is a worthy match for her mouth.

For none but you is a match for him

And despite her excesses, be forgiving and forgo reproach.

And with his persistence, forgive him for any reproach
