يَا سَاكِنِينْ نَعْمَانْ

يَا سَاكِنِينْ نَعْمَانْعَطْفاً عَلَى المَكْرُوبْ

Yā sākinīn naʿmān, ʿaṭfan ʿalā al-makrūb

O dwellers of Na'man, have pity on the grief-stricken,

الهَائِمِ الوَلْهَانْالذَّاهِلِ المَغْلُوبْ

Al-hāʾimi al-walhān, Adh-dhāhili al-maghlūb

The distraught and lovesick one, bewildered and overcome,

مَنْ دَمْعُهُ شَنَّانْفِي خَدِّهِ مَسْكُوبْ

Man damʿuhu shannān, Fī khaddihi maskūb

Whose tears stream and pour down his cheek

مِنْ فُرْقَةِ الأَوْطَانْوَالشَّادِنِ الرُّعْبُوبْ

Min furqati al-ʾawṭān, Wa-ash-shādini ar-ruʿbūb

From parting with his homeland and with the tender young fawn,

ذَاكَ الَّذِي حُبُّهْفِي مُهْجَتِي سَاكِنْ

Dhāka al-ladhī ḥubbuh, Fī muhjatī sākin

The one whose love dwells in my heart,

وَبُغْيَتِي قُرْبُهْوَالكُلُّ لُهْ رَاكِنْ

Wabughyatī qurbuh, Wa-al-kullu luh rākin

Whose nearness is my desire, on whom everything relies.

اللهُ يُسْرِعْ بُهْلِلشَّيِّقِ السَّاهِنْ

Allāhu yusriʿ buh, Lilshshayyiqi as-sāhin

May Allah hasten him to the yearning, sleepless one,

تَسْكُنْ بِهِ الأَشْجَانْوَيَحْصُلُ المَطْلُوبْ

Taskun bihi al-ʾashjān, Wayaḥṣulu al-maṭlūb

That sorrows may be stilled by him and the goal be attained.

مَتَى مَتَى يَا صَاحْتُقْضَى لَنَا الأَوْطَارْ

Matā matā yā ṣāḥ, Tuqḍā lanā al-ʾawṭār

When, when, my friend, will our wishes be fulfilled,

مِنْ رَاحَةِ الأَرْوَاحْأُنْسِ الحِمَى وَالجَارْ

Min rāḥati al-ʾarwāḥ, Unsi al-ḥimā wa-al-jār

The repose of spirits, the intimacy of the sanctuary and its neighbour,

وَتَكْمُلُ الأَفْرَاحْوَتَنْجَلِي الأَكْدَارْ

Watakmulu al-ʾafrāḥ, Watanjalī al-ʾakdār

And joys be made complete, and troubles cleared away?

يَا رَبِّ يَا رَحْمَنْفَرِّجْ عَلَى المَحْنُوبْ

Yā rabbi yā raḥman, Farrij ʿalā al-maḥnūb

O Lord, O Most Merciful, grant relief to the one in hardship,

وَاجْبُرْ لَهُ كَسْرَهْوَاصْلِحْ لَهُ أَمْرَهْ

Wajbur lahu kasrah, Waṣliḥ lahu amrah

Mend his brokenness, set his affairs right,

وَاطْلِقْ لَهُ أَسْرَهْوَاشْرَحْ لَهُ صَدْرَهْ

Waṭliq lahu asrah, Washraḥ lahu ṣadrah

Free him from his captivity, open his breast,

وَاشْدُدْ لَهُ أَزْرَهْوَاغْفِرْ لَهُ وِزْرَهْ

Washdud lahu azrah, Waghfir lahu wizrah

Strengthen his back, and forgive his burden.

يَا دَائِمَ الإِحْسَانْشُكْرَكْ عَلَيْنَا دُوبْ

Yā dāʾima al-ʾiḥsān, Shukrak ʿalaynā dūb

O You whose kindness is everlasting, our thanks to You are constant.
