If I could choose for you among desires

لو أنني لك في الأهواء مختار

1. If I could choose for you among desires
What has befallen you would not have occurred

١. لَو أَنَّني لَكَ في الأَهواءِ مُختارُ
لَما جَرَت بِالَّذي تَشكوهُ أَقدارُ

2. But these are tribulations, in times like these
Sights are blinded, if sights themselves aren't blinded

٢. لَكِنَّها فِتَنٌ في مِثلِ غَيهَبِها
تَعمى البَصائِرُ إِن لَم تَعمَ أَبصارُ

3. So think well, do not doubt the pledge of a gallant man
Pledges pass, yet their traces remain

٣. فَأَحسِنِ الظَنِّ لا تَرتَب بِعَهدِ فَتىً
تَعفو العُهودُ وَتَبقى مِنهُ آثارُ

4. If wishes were granted in every matter as one desires
He would not be away from you a single day, visitors

٤. لَو كانَ يُعطى المُنى في الأَمرِ يُمكِنُهُ
لَما أَغَبَّكَ يَوماً مِنهُ زَوّارُ

5. So let not anyone make you doubt, in remembering a friend
One who doesn't know that time is fickle

٥. فَلا يُريبَنكَ في ذِكرِ الصَديقِ بِهِ
مَن لَيسَ يَجهَلُ أَنَّ الدَهرَ دَوّارُ
