Who will be there for me?

بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Mansour Al-Hallaj reportedly wrote this very moving ode to his Beloved

 

إِذا هَجَرتَ فَمَن لي

وَمَن يُجَمِّلُ كُلّي  

وَمَن لِروحي وَراحي

يا أَكثَري وَأَقَلّي

أَحَبَّكَ البَعضُ مِنّي
فقَد ذَهَبتَ بِكُلّي

يا كُلَّ كُلّي فَكُنْ لي

إِنْ لَم تَكُن لي فَمَن لي  

يا كُلَّ كُلّي وَأَهلي

عِندَ اِنقِطاعي وَذُلّي

ما لي سِوى الروحِ خُذها

وَالروحُ جُهدُ المُقِلِّ

If You renounce me, then who will be there for me
Who will embellish all of me
And who would be there for my soul and solace
 O (you who is) the most of me and the least of me
I loved You with only a part of me
And you left with all of my being
O all of the entirety of my being, be there for me
For if You won't be, then who else would be there for me
O all of the entirety of my being and my kin
At the time of my isolation and humiliation
I have nothing but my soul, so take it
As it is the best thing that a destitute possesses
