She left the dwellings of Sheikh Mar‘i, her husband,

She left the home of her sheikh, her provider

And departed for the blossoming abode of bliss.

And went to the abode of bliss ever flowering

تلكَ التِّي تُدعَى أمينةَ وَهْيَ مِن

كلِّ العُيوبِ أمينةٌ مُتطَهِّرَهْ

كلِّ العُيوبِ أمينةٌ مُتطَهِّرَهْ

She who is called Aminah—and who, from

She who was called Amina, and she was

All faults, is safe and purified.

Amina, protected from all flaws, purified

God’s mercy has settled upon her, the mercy that

Upon her descended the mercy of God

Waters her soil like rain-bearing morning clouds.

ولكلِّ ما عَثَرَتْ بهِ مِن هَفْوةٍ

في كلِّ تاريخٍ تَعُمُّ المَغفِرهُ

And for every lapse into which she stumbled,

And for all her stumbles and lapses

Through all time, forgiveness encompasses all.

In every epoch, forgiveness prevails
