تَشَوَّقَتْ رُوحِي لِشَطِّ الوَادِي

تَشَوَّقَتْ رُوحِي لِشَطِّ الوَادِيفَهَا أَنَا ذَا رَبِّي خُذْ بِيَدِي

Tashawwaqat rūḥī lishaṭṭi al-wādī, Fahā anā dhā rabbī khudh biyadī

My spirit longs for the bank of the valley; here I am, my Lord: take my hand.

أَبِيتُ اللَّيَالِي جَهْرًا أُنَادِيفَقَلْبِي يَذُوبُ مِنَ الكَمَدِ

Abītu al-layālī jahran unādī, Faqalbī yadhūbu mina al-kamadi

I spend the nights calling out aloud, for my heart is melting with grief.

رَمَانِي العُذَّالُ بِفَرْطِ الهَوَىفَقَالُوا جُنِنْتَ فَوَا جَلَدِي

Ramānī al-ʿudhdhālu bifarṭi al-hawā, Faqālū juninta fawā jaladī

The blamers accused me of excessive love, and said, "You have gone mad." Oh, my endurance!

مَحَبَّةُ اللهِ نَارٌ مُوقَدَةْتُبِيدُ بِالرُّوحِ وَبِالجَسَدِ

Maḥabbatu Allāhi nārun mūqada, Tubīdu bi-ar-rūḥi wabi-al-jasadi

The love of Allah is a kindled fire that consumes spirit and body.

فَذَرَّةُ حُبٍّ لِلْمَوْلَى الرَّحِيمْتُزِيلُ الهُمُومَ يَوْمَ التَّنَادِي

Fadharratu ḥubbin lilmawlā ar-raḥīm, Tuzīlu al-humūma yawma at-tanādī

An atom of love for the Merciful Master removes all worries on the Day of Calling.

عَشِقْتُ الْإِلَهَ وَلَا صَبْرَ لِيفَحُرْقَةُ حُبِّهِ فِي فُؤَادِي

ʿashiqtu al-ʾilaha walā ṣabra lī, Faḥurqatu ḥubbihi fī fuʾādī

I am in love with God and have no patience; the burning of His love is in my heart.

أُحِبُّكَ يَا مُبْدِعَ الكَائِنَاتْوَحَقِّكَ رَبِّي أَنْتَ مُرَادِي

Uḥibbuka yā mubdiʿa al-kāʾināt, Waḥaqqika rabbī anta murādī

I love You, O Originator of all beings; by Your truth, my Lord, You are my desire.

لَكَ الحَمْدُ رَبِّي عَلَى كُلِّ حَالْفَأَنْتَ الوَاحِدُ بِلَا عَدَدٍ

Laka al-ḥamdu rabbī ʿalā kulli ḥāl, Faʾanta al-wāḥidu bilā ʿadadin

To You be praise, my Lord, in every state, for You are the One beyond all number.

يَا أَهْلَ الهَوَى وَاللهِ إِنَّكُمْفِي لَذِيذِ عَيْشٍ إِلَى الأَبَدِ

Yā ahla al-hawā wallāhi innakum, Fī ladhīdhi ʿayshin ilā al-ʾabadi

O people of love, by Allah, you are in a sweet life forever.
