إِذاif لَمnot تَكُنare طُرقpaths الهَوىlove ليfor me ذَليلَةٌeasy to traverse
إِذا لَم تَكُن طُرق الهَوى لي ذَليلَةٌ
تَنكّبتُهاI avoided them وانحِزتُand I withdrew لِلجانبto the side السَهلِeasy
تَنكّبتُها وانحِزتُ لِلجانب السَهلِ
If love’s paths do not lie easy beneath my feet,
If the paths of love are not easy for me,
When the paths of love aren't easy for me
I shun them and turn toward the gentler way.
I turn aside from them and withdraw to the easy side.
I avoid them, preferring the simpler side
وَماand why ليَfor me أَرضىI accept مِنهُfrom him بِالجَورwith injustice فيin الهوىlove
وَما ليَ أَرضى مِنهُ بِالجَور في الهوى
وَليand I have مِثلُهُhis equal إِلفٌa beloved وَليسَand there is not لَهُfor him مِثليmy equal
وَلي مِثلُهُ إِلفٌ وَليسَ لَهُ مِثلي
Why should I endure his injustice in love,
And why should I accept injustice from him in love,
Why should I accept injustice in love?
when I have a beloved like him, but he has none like me?
when I have a beloved like him, while he has no one like me?
I'm familiar with it, but it doesn't know me
