1. You turned away, yet you looked graceful when turning,
I sacrifice myself for you against all rejecters,
١. صَدَدتَ فَكُنتَ مَليحَ الصُّدُودِ
وأعرَضتَ أفدِيكَ مِن مُعرِضِ
2. It's in anger, not in joy, that the lover
Is distinguished from the hater,
٢. وفي حالةِ السُّخطِ لا في الرِّضا
يَبينُ المحبُّ من المُبغِضِ
3. And he who does good even when angry,
How would he be if he became pleased?
٣. ومَن كانَ في سُخطِهِ مُحسِناً
فكيفَ يكونُ إذا ما رَضِي
