أيا رب لو سويتَ بيني وبينه

أيا رب لو سويتَ بيني وبينه

لَما كان عَدْلاً أن نكونَ سواءَ

لَما كان عَدْلاً أن نكونَ سواءَ

O Lord, even if You had made him and me equal,

O Lord, had You made me equal to him,

it would not have been just for us to be equals.

فكيف وقد أعليتَه وخَفَضْتَنِي

فكيف وقد أعليتَه وخَفَضْتَنِي

فكنتُ له أرضاً وكان سماءَ

فكنتُ له أرضاً وكان سماءَ

How then, when You have exalted him and brought me low,

How then, when You have raised him and lowered me,

so that I became earth to him, while he was sky?

so that I was earth to him, and he was sky?
