لَقَد جُزتَ في الصَدِّ حَدَّ الزِيادَه

لَقَد جُزتَ في الصَدِّ حَدَّ الزِيادَه

فَلا تَجعَلِ الهَجرَ خُلقاً وَعادَه

فَلا تَجعَلِ الهَجرَ خُلقاً وَعادَه

You have indeed exceeded the bounds of excess in turning away;

You have exceeded the limit in estrangement,

So do not make estrangement your nature and habit.

So do not make abandonment a habit.

فَعِندي اِشتِياقٌ شَديدٌ إِلَيكَ

فَعِندي اِشتِياقٌ شَديدٌ إِلَيكَ

وَقَلبُكَ يَشهَدُ هَذي الشَهادَه

وَقَلبُكَ يَشهَدُ هَذي الشَهادَه

For I have an intense longing for you,

I have an intense yearning for you,

And your heart bears this testimony.

And your heart testifies to this testimony.

وَعَوَّدتَني مِنكَ حُسنَ الوَدادِ

وَعَوَّدتَني مِنكَ حُسنَ الوَدادِ

وَما يَطلُبُ القَلبُ إِلّا اِعتِيادَه

وَما يَطلُبُ القَلبُ إِلّا اِعتِيادَه

And you have accustomed me to your kindly affection,

You have accustomed me to your affection,

And the heart asks only for what it is used to.

And what the heart seeks is only its habit.

وَإِنّي عَهِدتُكَ نَجلَ الجِيادِ

وَإِنّي عَهِدتُكَ نَجلَ الجِيادِ

لِذَلِكَ أَطلُبُ مِنكَ الإِجادَه

لِذَلِكَ أَطلُبُ مِنكَ الإِجادَه

And I have known you as a scion of the noble,

I knew you as the best of steeds,

For that reason I ask excellence of you.

So I ask you for excellence from you.

فَإِن أَنتَ أَتحَفتَني بِالحُضورِ

فَإِن أَنتَ أَتحَفتَني بِالحُضورِ

فَمِن أَينَ لِلعَبدِ هَذي السَعادَه

فَمِن أَينَ لِلعَبدِ هَذي السَعادَه

So if you honor me with your presence,

If you would gift me with your presence,

Then whence comes such happiness to this servant?

How could a servant attain such felicity?
