I have what you want from contentment

علي وعندي ما تريد من الرضا

1. I have what you want from contentment
So why are you angry with me and turning away?

١. عَلَيَّ وَعِندي ما تُريدُ مِنَ الرِضا
فَما لَكَ غَضباناً عَلَيَّ وَمُعرِضا

2. Oh you who departed, never should what was between us
Of affection be swiftly forgotten and nullified

٢. وَيا هاجِري حاشا الَّذي كانَ بَينَنا
مِنَ الوُدِّ أَن يُنسى سَريعاً وَيُنقَضا

3. My beloved, no, by God, I have no connection to you
Except the love that has been purified

٣. حَبيبِيَ لا وَاللَهِ ما لي وَصيلَةٌ
إِلَيكَ سِوى الوُدُّ الَّذي قَد تَمَحَّضا

4. So will that estrangement I see vanish?
And will that past union return?

٤. فَهَل زائِلٌ ذاكَ الصُدودُ الَّذي أَرى
وَهَل عائِدٌ ذاكَ الوِصالُ الَّذي مَضى

5. If only you knew all that has befallen me because of you
Perhaps you would be content for once and make amends

٥. فَلَيتَكَ تَدري كُلَّ ما فيكَ حَلَّ بي
لَعَلَّكَ تَرضى مَرَّةً فَتُعَوِّضا

6. The slanderer did not cease speaking ill of us
So when he saw your rejection, he was emboldened

٦. وَما بَرِحَ الواشي لَنا مُتَجَنَّباً
فَلَمّا رَأى الإِعراضَ مِنكَ تَعَرَّضا

7. Yet I am confident of your good faith
Even if the slanderer labored and incited

٧. وَإِنّي بِحُسنِ الظَنِّ فيكَ لَواثِقٌ
وَإِن جَهِدَ الواشي فَقالَ وَحَرَّضا

8. We keep our secret between us and protect it
Even if there were swords drawn between us

٨. نُنَزِّهُ سِرّاً بَينَنا وَنَصونُهُ
وَلو كانَ فيما بَينَنا السَيفُ مُنتَضى

9. I have joy every morning
Hopeful that union will be ordained during it

٩. وَلي كُلَّ يَومٍ فَرحَةٌ في صَباحِهِ
عَسى الوَصلُ في أَثنائِهِ أَن يُقَيَّضا

10. I spend my whole day longing
Perhaps a messenger from you will come with favor

١٠. أَظَلُّ نَهاري كُلَّهُ مُتَشَوِّقاً
لَعَلَّ رَسولاً مِنكَ يُقبِلُ بِالرِضا
