نامت أعيني يوما
One day in my sleep
نامت والحنين نما
In my slumber longing grew
راحت تحتويني
I was enveloped by
رؤياك يا رسول الله
Your vision, O Messenger of God!
أحمد يا نور الهدى
Ahmed (the Most Praised), O Light of Guidance!
بي شوقٌ فاق المدى
My yearning transcends all bounds
عيني ترجو أن تراك
My eyes hope for the sight of you
روحي يا حبيبي فداك
My soul, O my beloved, I would sacrifice for you
عانق طيفه قلبي
His apparition embraced my heart
ذابت في يديه يدي
My hand melted in his
نادته عيوني
My eyes called out to him
وبهاه لامس القلب
And his splendor touched my heart
أحمد يا نور الهدى
Ahmed (the Most Praised), O Light of Guidance!
بي شوقٌ فاق المدى
My yearning transcends all bounds
عيني ترجو أن تراك
My eyes hope for the sight of you
روحي يا حبيبي فداك
My soul, O my beloved, I would sacrifice for you
حوضه كوثرٌ وروا
His pool is quenching and abundant 1
شربةٌ لي دوايا
One sip like medicine to me
اروني يا حبيبي
Quench my thirst my beloved!
يا طبيب البرايا
O Healer of Creation!
أنت لي بلسمٌ وشفا
You are my balm and cure
أحمد يا نور الهدى
Ahmed (the Most Praised), O Light of Guidance!
بي شوقٌ فاق المدى
My yearning transcends all bounds
عيني ترجو أن تراك
My eyes hope for the sight of you
روحي يا حبيبي فداك
My soul, O my beloved, I would sacrifice for you
