هاجَ لِلقَلبِ مِن هَواهُ اِدِّكارُ

هاجَ لِلقَلبِ مِن هَواهُ اِدِّكارُ

وَلَيالٍ خِلالَهُنَّ نَهارُ

وَلَيالٍ خِلالَهُنَّ نَهارُ

Remembrance stirred in the heart from its longing;

The recollection of his love stirred tumult in my heart,

And nights with day between them;

And nights amid which was a day,

وَجِبالٌ شَوامِخٌ راسِياتٌ

وَجِبالٌ شَوامِخٌ راسِياتٌ

وَبِحارٌ مِياهُهُنَّ غِزارُ

وَبِحارٌ مِياهُهُنَّ غِزارُ

And towering mountains, firmly fixed;

And lofty mountains firmly grounded,

And seas whose waters are abundant;

And seas whose waters were copious,

وَنُجومٌ يَحُثُّها قَمَرُ اللَي

وَنُجومٌ يَحُثُّها قَمَرُ اللَي

لِ وَشَمسٌ في كُلِّ يَومٍ تُدارُ

لِ وَشَمسٌ في كُلِّ يَومٍ تُدارُ

And stars urged onward by the moon of night,

And stars hurried on by the moon of night,

and a sun that is turned each day;

And a sun that revolves each day,

وَضَوؤُها يِطمُسُ العُيون وَإِرعا

وَضَوؤُها يِطمُسُ العُيون وَإِرعا

دٌ شَديدٌ في الخافِقينِ مُثارُ

دٌ شَديدٌ في الخافِقينِ مُثارُ

And its light blinds the eyes, and thunder

Its brilliance dims the eyes and a violent,

is fiercely stirred up across the two horizons;

Throbbing within the arteries is aroused,

وَغُلامٌ وَأَشمَطٌ وَرَضيعٌ

وَغُلامٌ وَأَشمَطٌ وَرَضيعٌ

كُلُّهُم في التُرابِ يَوماً يُزارُ

كُلُّهُم في التُرابِ يَوماً يُزارُ

And a boy, a gray-haired man, and a suckling infant—

And a boy and one grey-haired and an infant,

All of them will one day be visited in the dust;

All of them in the dust one day to be visited,

وَقُصورٌ مَشيدَةٌ حَوَتِ ال

وَقُصورٌ مَشيدَةٌ حَوَتِ ال

خَيرَ وَأُخرى خَوَت فَهُنَّ قِفارُ

خَيرَ وَأُخرى خَوَت فَهُنَّ قِفارُ

And lofty palaces that contained

And palaces erected that contained good,

good things, and others deserted—now desolate wastes;

And others that contained - so they are ruins,

وَكَثيرٌ مِمَّ تُقَصِّرُ عَنهُ

وَكَثيرٌ مِمَّ تُقَصِّرُ عَنهُ

حَدسَةُ الناظِرِ الَّذي لا يَحارُ

حَدسَةُ الناظِرِ الَّذي لا يَحارُ

And much that lies beyond

And much that the insight of one who sees and is not,

the intuition of the observer who is not bewildered;

Perplexed falls short of,

وَالَّذي قَد ذَكَرتُ دَلَّ عَلى اللَ

وَالَّذي قَد ذَكَرتُ دَلَّ عَلى اللَ

هِ نُفوساً لَها هُدىً وَاِعتِبارُ

هِ نُفوساً لَها هُدىً وَاِعتِبارُ

And what I have mentioned has guided toward God

And that which I have mentioned is evidence of God,

souls endowed with guidance and reflection.

Souls that have guidance and consideration.
