وَما كُنتُ أَدري أَنَّ مالِكَ مُهجَتي

وَما كُنتُ أَدري أَنَّ مالِكَ مُهجَتي

يُسَمّى بِمَظلومٍ وَظُلمٌ جَفاؤه

يُسَمّى بِمَظلومٍ وَظُلمٌ جَفاؤه

And I did not know that the master of my soul

I did not know that my beloved

Is called Mazlum ('the wronged'), though his coldness is injustice,

is called oppressed, his aloofness being injustice,

إِلى أَن دَعاني لِلهَوى فَأَجَبته

إِلى أَن دَعاني لِلهَوى فَأَجَبته

وَمَن يَكُ مَظلوماً أُجيبَ دُعاؤه

وَمَن يَكُ مَظلوماً أُجيبَ دُعاؤه

Until he called me to love, and I answered him;

until he called me to love and I responded,

And whoever is wronged has his prayer answered.

and whoever is oppressed, his call is answered.
