وَلاَ تَدَعِ السُّعَالَ يَهُدُّ جِسْمِي

وَلاَ تَدَعِ السُّعَالَ يَهُدُّ جِسْمِي

وكَيْفَ وأنْتَ رَحمانٌ رَحِيمُ

وكَيْفَ وأنْتَ رَحمانٌ رَحِيمُ

وَمُنَّ بِمَا أرَجّي منْك فَضْلاً

فَإنّكَ بِالذِي أرْجُو عَلِيمُ

فَإنّكَ بِالذِي أرْجُو عَلِيمُ

سَألتُكَ بالشَّفيعِ وَكيفَ أخْزَى

سَألتُكَ بالشَّفيعِ وَكيفَ أخْزَى

وَمُعْتَمَدِي حَبِيبُكَ يَا حَليمُ

وَمُعْتَمَدِي حَبِيبُكَ يَا حَليمُ

وَحَاشَا أنْ أُضَامَ وَقَدْ أوَانِي

وَحَاشَا أنْ أُضَامَ وَقَدْ أوَانِي

بِمَدْحِ المُصْطَفَى كهفٌ رَقيمُ

بِمَدْحِ المُصْطَفَى كهفٌ رَقيمُ

And far be it that I should be wronged, for I have been sheltered

Far be it that I should suffer, for I have been blessed

through praise of the Chosen One, by an inscribed cave.

With praising the Chosen One, a sure refuge.

وَلُذْتُ بِجَاهِهِ لأنَالَ قَصْدِي

وَلُذْتُ بِجَاهِهِ لأنَالَ قَصْدِي

عَلَيْهِ صَلاَةُ رَبِّي مَا تَثَنَّى

عَلَيْهِ صَلاَةُ رَبِّي مَا تَثَنَّى

قَضِيتُ البانِ أوْ هَبَّ النَّسِيمُ

قَضِيتُ البانِ أوْ هَبَّ النَّسِيمُ

Upon him be my Lord's blessing, as long as there sways

Upon him be the prayers of my Lord for as long

a bān-tree bough (apparently intended), or the breeze blows.

As the wafting breeze stirs or the night falls still.
