قالَ لي المَحبوب يَوماً

قالَ لي المَحبوب يَوماً

لِمَ لا تَأتي إِلَينا

لِمَ لا تَأتي إِلَينا

The beloved said to me one day,

The beloved once said to me,

“Why do you not come to us?

Why do you not come to us,

أَيُّها العاشق إنّي

أَيُّها العاشق إنّي

لَأَرى ودَّكَ مينا

لَأَرى ودَّكَ مينا

O lover, indeed I

O lover, I do

see your affection as a lie.

Wish to see your affection.

أَنتَ أَبهى الناس عِندي

أَنتَ أَبهى الناس عِندي

أَثَراً يَحلو وَعَينا

أَثَراً يَحلو وَعَينا

You are the loveliest of people in my eyes,

You are the most magnificent of people to me,

both in the pleasing impression you leave and in person.”

A sweet vestige and eyes.

قُلت تَاللّه لَقَد آ

قُلت تَاللّه لَقَد آ

ثرك اللَه عَلَينا

ثرك اللَه عَلَينا

I said, “By God, indeed—

I said, by God, God has indeed

God has preferred you over us.”

Preferred you over us.
