بَادِرْ لَقَدْ فَاتَتْكَ الْغَنَائِمْ

بَادِرْ لَقَدْ فَاتَتْكَ الْغَنَائِمْتَقَاسَمُوهَا وَأَنْتَ نَائِمْ

Bādir laqad fātatka al-ghanāʾim, Taqāsamūhā waʾanta nāʾim

Hurry! The spoils have passed you by; they divided them while you slept.

وَلَوْ رَأَيْتَ الَّذِينَ فَازُوانُحْتَ كَمَا نَاحَتِ الْحَمَائِمْ

Walaw raʾayta al-ladhīna fāzū, Nuḥta kamā nāḥati al-ḥamāʾim

Had you seen those who triumphed, you would have moaned as the doves moan.

إِنْ رُمْتَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ نَادِمْقُمْ لِحَبِيبِ الْقُلُوبِ لَازِمْ

In rumta allā takūna nādim, Qum liḥabībi al-qulūbi lāzim

If you wish not to be regretful, rise and keep close to the beloved of hearts.

وَلَازِمِ الْبَابَ يَا مُعَنَّىإِنَّ السَّعِيدَ الَّذِي يُلَازِمْ

Walāzimi al-bāba yā muʿannā, Inna as-saʿīda al-ladhī yulāzim

Keep to the door, O suffering one, for the happy one is he who keeps close.

مَنْ لَازَمَ الْبَابَ نَالَ قُرْبَاوَفَازَ بِالْأَجْرِ وَالْغَنَائِمْ

Man lāzama al-bāba nāla qurbā, Wafāza bi-al-ʾajri wa-al-ghanāʾim

Whoever keeps to the door attains nearness, and wins the reward and the spoils.

وَلَا تَنَمْ سَاعَةَ التَّجَلِّيفَلَيْسَ يَحْظَى بِالْأَجْرِ نَائِمْ

Walā tanam sāʿata at-tajallī, Falaysa yaḥẓā bi-al-ʾajri nāʾim

Do not sleep in the hour of manifestation, for the sleeper wins no reward.

قَدْ جَرَحَتْ قَلْبِيَ الْخَطَايَاوَلَسْتُ أَلْقَى لَهَا مَرَاهِمْ

Qad jaraḥat qalbiya al-khaṭāyā, Walastu alqā lahā marāhim

Sins have wounded my heart, and I find no balm for them

سِوَى الرِّضَا مِنْكَ يَا إِلَهِييَا وَاسِعَ الْجُودِ وَالْمَكَارِمْ

Siwā ar-riḍā minka yā ilahī, Yā wāsiʿa al-jūdi wa-al-makārim

But Your good pleasure, O my God, O You of vast generosity and noble gifts.

وَقَدْ تَوَسَّلْنَا يَا إِلَهِيبِسَيِّدِ الْعَرَبِ وَالْأَعَاجِمْ

Waqad tawassalnā yā ilahī, Bisayyidi al-ʿarabi wa-al-ʾaʿājim

We have sought Your nearness, O my God, through the master of Arabs and non-Arabs,

نَبِيِّنَا الْمُصْطَفَى التِّهَامِيمَنْ جَاءَ لِلْأَنْبِيَاءِ خَاتَمْ

Nabiyyinā al-muṣṭafā at-tihāmī, Man jāʾa lilʾanbiyāʾi khātam

Our Prophet, the Chosen One of Tihama, who came as the seal of the prophets.
