أميرَ المؤمنين وخيرَ مَلجا

أميرَ المؤمنين وخيرَ مَلجا

يُسارُ إِلى حِماهُ وخَيرَ حامِ

يُسارُ إِلى حِماهُ وخَيرَ حامِ

O Commander of the Faithful, and best refuge

O commander of the faithful and best refuge

To whose sanctuary one journeys, and best protector!

Progressing to his protection is best course

كأنّى إن جعلتُ إليك قَصدي

كأنّى إن جعلتُ إليك قَصدي

قصَدتُ الرّكنَ بالبيت الحرام

قصَدتُ الرّكنَ بالبيت الحرام

If I set my course toward you, it is as though

As if when I set my aim to you

I had sought the Corner of the Sacred House.

I aimed for the Holy House and its cornerstone

وخُيِّلَ لي بأنّي في مقامي

وخُيِّلَ لي بأنّي في مقامي

لديه بين زمزمَ والمقامِ

لديه بين زمزمَ والمقامِ

And it seemed to me that, as I stood

And it was as though in my standing

Before him, I was between Zamzam and the Station.

I was before it, between Zamzam and the Standing Place

أيا مولاىَ ذِكرُكَ في قعودي

أيا مولاىَ ذِكرُكَ في قعودي

ويا مولايَ ذِكرُكَ في قيامي

ويا مولايَ ذِكرُكَ في قيامي

O my master, I remember you when I sit,

O my Master, remembering you while sitting

And O my master, I remember you when I stand.

And O my Master, remembering you while standing

وأنتَ إذا انتبهتُ سميرَ فِكري

وأنتَ إذا انتبهتُ سميرَ فِكري

كذلك أنت أُنسي في منامي

كذلك أنت أُنسي في منامي

And when I wake, you are my thoughts' companion by night;

And you, when I wake, are the companion of my thoughts

Likewise, you are my solace in my sleep.

And so you are, the delight of my sleep

وحُبُّكَ إن يكن قد حلَّ قلبِي

وحُبُّكَ إن يكن قد حلَّ قلبِي

ففي لحمي استكنّ وفي عِظامي

ففي لحمي استكنّ وفي عِظامي

And if love for you has settled in my heart,

And your love, if it has settled in my heart

It has nestled in my flesh and in my bones.

It has settled in my flesh and in my bones

فلولا أنت لم تُقبَل صلاى

فلولا أنت لم تُقبَل صلاى

ولولا أنت لم يُقبل صيامى

ولولا أنت لم يُقبل صيامى

For were it not for you, my prayer would not be accepted,

So without you, my prayers would not be accepted

And were it not for you, my fasting would not be accepted.

And without you, my fasting would not be accepted

عسى أُسقَى بكأسِكَ يوم حشرى

عسى أُسقَى بكأسِكَ يوم حشرى

ويُروَى حين أشربُها أوَامى

ويُروَى حين أشربُها أوَامى

May I be given drink from your cup on the day I am gathered for judgment,

Hopefully I will be given your cup on the Day of Resurrection

And may my burning thirst be quenched when I drink it.

And when I drink it, my wish will be fulfilled

وأنعَمُ فى الجِنانِ بخير عَيشِ

وأنعَمُ فى الجِنانِ بخير عَيشِ

بفضل وَلاكَ والنِّعمِ الجِسام

بفضل وَلاكَ والنِّعمِ الجِسام

And may I enjoy the finest life in the Gardens,

And I will enjoy the best life in the Gardens

By virtue of devotion to you and the mighty blessings.

By your grace and great bounty

صلاةُ اللهِ لا تعدوك يوماً

صلاةُ اللهِ لا تعدوك يوماً

وتتبَعُها التحيّةُ بالسلام

وتتبَعُها التحيّةُ بالسلام

May God's blessing never pass you by,

The prayers of Allah never cease to reach you

And may the salutation of peace follow it.

And greetings of peace continue to follow
