1. I reproached myself for loving you,
But found no acceptance from myself.
١. عاتَبتُ نَفسي في هَوا
كِ فَلَم أَجِدها تَقبَلُ
2. And I obeyed its call to you,
But did not obey the one who blames.
٢. وَأَطَعتُ داعيها إِلَي
كِ فَلَم أُطِع من يَعذِلُ
3. No - by Him who made your face's beauty
An example of perfection!
٣. لا وَالَّذي جَعَلَ الوُجو
هَ لِحُسنِ وَجهِكِ تمثُلُ
4. No - I said: Patience in staying away from you
Is more beautiful than agony.
٤. لا قُلتُ إِنَّ الصَبرَ عَن
كِ مِنَ التَصابي أَجمَلُ
