1. How much I reveled in love and suffered in it,
How often I died in it and came back to life.
١. كم تنعَّمتُ في الهوى وشقيتُ
كم وكم متُّ فيه ثم حييتُ
2. If I was perhaps angry with fate for some sin,
I have long been content with whatever befell me.
٢. إن أكن ربما سخطتُ على الده
ر لذنبٍ فطال ما قد رضيتُ
3. May God torment the envious one who poisons life,
For the beloved's night has been long.
٣. نغص اللَهُ حاسداً نغص العي
شَ وقد طال للحبيب المَبيتُ
4. The envious want nothing from me, rather
Everything from a hated one is hateful.
٤. ما يريد الحسودُ منّا ولكن
كلُّ شيءٍ من المَقيت مَقيتُ
