أَدخَلَ اللَهُ رَبُّ موسى وَعيسى

أَدخَلَ اللَهُ رَبُّ موسى وَعيسى

جَنَّةَ الخُلدِ مَن مَلاني خَلوقا

جَنَّةَ الخُلدِ مَن مَلاني خَلوقا

May God, Lord of Moses and Jesus, admit

God, Lord of Moses and Jesus, admitted

to the Garden of Eternity her who suffused me with saffron perfume.

To the eternal Paradise a humble servant of Mine

مَسَحَتهُ مِن كَفِّها بِقَميصي

مَسَحَتهُ مِن كَفِّها بِقَميصي

حينَ طافَت بِالبَيتِ مَسحاً رَفيقا

حينَ طافَت بِالبَيتِ مَسحاً رَفيقا

She wiped it from her palm onto my shirt,

Who wiped my shirt with her palm

as she circled the House, with a gentle stroke.

When she circumambulated the House in a gentle manner

غَضِبَت أَن نَظَرتُ نَحوَ نِساءٍ

غَضِبَت أَن نَظَرتُ نَحوَ نِساءٍ

لَيسَ يَعرِفنَني سَلَكنَ الطَريقا

لَيسَ يَعرِفنَني سَلَكنَ الطَريقا

She grew angry that I looked toward women

She was angered when I looked at some women

who did not know me, passing along the road.

Who did not know me, having gone down that path

وَأَرى بَينَها وَبَينَ نِساءٍ

وَأَرى بَينَها وَبَينَ نِساءٍ

كُنتُ أَهذي بِهِنَّ بَوناً سَحيقا

كُنتُ أَهذي بِهِنَّ بَوناً سَحيقا

And I see, between her and women

And I see a great distance between those women

I once raved about, a vast gulf.

And the ones I used to madly love
