أَراكَ تُراعُ حينَ تَرى خَيالي

أَراكَ تُراعُ حينَ تَرى خَيالي

فَما هَذا يَروعُكَ مِن خَيالي

فَما هَذا يَروعُكَ مِن خَيالي

I see you frightened when you see my form.

I see you startled when you see my phantom

What is it, then, about my form that frightens you?

So what is it that startles you about my phantom

لَعَلَّكَ خائِفٌ مِنّي سُؤالي

لَعَلَّكَ خائِفٌ مِنّي سُؤالي

أَلا فَلَكَ الأَمانِ مِنَ السُؤالِ

أَلا فَلَكَ الأَمانِ مِنَ السُؤالِ

Perhaps you fear a request from me.

Perhaps you're afraid I'll question you

Rest assured: you are safe from my asking.

But no, you are safe from questioning

كَفَيتُكَ إِنَّ حالَكَ لَم تَمِل بي

كَفَيتُكَ إِنَّ حالَكَ لَم تَمِل بي

لِأَطلُبَ مِثلَها بَدَلاً بِحالي

لِأَطلُبَ مِثلَها بَدَلاً بِحالي

I have spared you; indeed, your condition has not tempted me

I'm done with you, your state does not please me

To seek its like in place of my own.

To seek another like it to replace my state

وَإِنَّ اليُسرَ مِثلُ العُسرِ عِندي

وَإِنَّ اليُسرَ مِثلُ العُسرِ عِندي

بِأَيُّهِما مُنيتُ فَلا أُبالي

بِأَيُّهِما مُنيتُ فَلا أُبالي

And ease is like hardship to me;

Ease and hardship are the same to me

Whichever of the two befalls me, I do not care.

With either I'm fated, I do not care
