نَذودُ بِذِكْرِ اللهِ عنّا مِنَ السُّرى
إِذاwhen كانَare قلباناour two hearts بِناwithin us يَجِفانِboth tremble
إِذا كانَ قلبانا بِنا يَجِفانِ
By remembering God, we ward off what besets us during night travel,
With remembrance of God we ward off melancholy,
When our two hearts tremble within us.
When our hearts within us grow arid.
