نظرة علينه

بالحب جابتناWith love she brought us in,

وبالألم ننخاهاand in our pain we call upon her,

وتتبدل نعمand blessings are bestowed.

لو ما فاطم كلها تطيحIf not for Fatima, everything would collapse,

ولولاها ما صرنا خدمand were it not for her, we would never have become servants.

الكون بها احتمىThe entire universe seeks shelter in her.

يا فاطمة (3x)O Fatima!

ابلطمتك ابلطمتك[Beat your chests, beat your chests]

آه يا فاطمة (4x)Ah, O Fatima!

اللي يشم هواهاWhoever breathes her fragrance,

أمنياته بس رضاهاhis only wish is her contentment.

رايد وجاهاHe seeks her high standing

يم إلهها بس رضاهاbefore her God, seeking only her pleasure.

بالآخرة تجي وتلتقط كل مواليهاIn the Hereafter, she will come and gather all her devotees,

تفي لمحبيهاshe provides shade for those who love her,

رغم هي مصيوبة بإيديهاeven though she was injured in her hands.

بفيها ونواسيهاUnder her shade, we console her

صريع بقى بلايا فيّfor the fallen one left without any shade.

غرب شرق طول الزمنWest or east, across all of time,

ماكو يشبه أم الحسنthere is no one like the mother of al-Hasan.

ياهو يأمن مستقبلكWho else secures your future,

وبالغربة ضايع لك وطنand when lost in estrangement, becomes a homeland to you?

جرحي وبلسمهMy wound and its healing balm,

آه يا فاطمة (7x)Ah, O Fatima!

بيها يقيني إيش ما أضيع تحتوينيIn her is my certainty; whenever I am lost, she embraces me.

ترجى يا حنيني من أجيها وألقى دينيHope returns, O tender mother, whenever I come to her and rediscover my faith.

يا من رحمتيني وأجي أحضر عزاءك قبلتينيO you who showed me mercy: when I come to attend your mourning, you accept me.

بعشرة دمع عينيBy the tears streaming from my eyes,

أحلفك إذا أذنب وفينيI implore you, if I sin, do not forsake me.

مولاتي غيثينيMy Lady, come to my aid!

دخيلك دمع عيني خيره بدينيI seek your refuge; may the tear of my eye bring goodness to my faith.

شلون أنسى ربتنيHow could I forget her who raised me,

وخلتني ويا حسين نجتمعand brought me to gather with Hussain?

عدلتني من يمها انحنيتShe set me straight whenever I bowed before her,

بس كانت منحنية الضلعyet her own rib was broken and bent.

آه شبت دمعAh, tears ignited like fire!

يا فاطمة (2x)O Fatima!

فاطمةFatima!

يا فاطمة (6x)O Fatima!

قلبي انكسر لا رحمتك مالك عارهMy heart is broken; without your mercy, it is truly destitute.

حبك طهرهYour love is its purity,

وغير حبك مالك عارهand besides your love, it possesses nothing.

مولاتي لا يلفي وجدانيMy Lady, let not my soul be overtaken,

ذنب عنك يسد هنا آذانيby a sin that would deafen my ears to your call.

معروفك متانيI am awaiting your favor,

جوابك أعرفه بكي أحزانيfor I know your answer will weep with my sorrows.

لا تشمت يا أخوانيDo not let enemies gloat, O my brothers!

خيمكم منو لها يا أخوانيWho will protect your tents now, O my brothers?

للصاحت لك يمه تعالFor the one crying out to you: 'Come, my son!'

ظامي حسين ويطلبني مايHussain is thirsty and asking me for water.

حسين قبالي طايح غريبHussain has fallen before me, alone and forlorn,

وطاحت يمه خيامي ورايand my tents have collapsed behind me, beside him.

آه من الظماOh, the agony of thirst!

آه يا فاطمةOh, Lady Fatima!

يا فاطمة (3x)O Fatima!

آه يا فاطمة (3x)Ah, O Fatima!
