أَتاني عَنكِ سَبُّكِ لي فَسُبّي

أَتاني عَنكِ سَبُّكِ لي فَسُبّي

أَلَيسَ جَرى بِفيكِ اِسمي فَحَسبي

أَلَيسَ جَرى بِفيكِ اِسمي فَحَسبي

Word of your reviling me has reached me—so revile me.

News reached me that you reviled me, so revile on;

Has not my name passed your lips? That is enough for me.

Is it not enough that my name passed your lips? That suffices me.

وَقولي ما بَدا لَكِ أَن تَقولي

وَقولي ما بَدا لَكِ أَن تَقولي

فَما ذا كُلُّهُ إِلّا لِحُبّي

فَما ذا كُلُّهُ إِلّا لِحُبّي

And say whatever occurs to you to say;

And say whatever it appears good for you to say,

For all this is only because of my love.

For all of this stems from nothing but love.

قُصاراكِ الرُجوعُ إِلى وِصالي

قُصاراكِ الرُجوعُ إِلى وِصالي

فَما تَرجينَ مِن تَعذيبِ قَلبي

فَما تَرجينَ مِن تَعذيبِ قَلبي

Your end can only be a return to union with me;

Your inevitable end is a return to my union,

So what do you hope to gain from tormenting my heart?

So what do you hope to gain by the torment of my heart?

تَشابَهَتِ الظُنونُ عَلَيكِ عِندي

تَشابَهَتِ الظُنونُ عَلَيكِ عِندي

وَعِلمُ الغَيبِ فيها عِندَ رَبّي

وَعِلمُ الغَيبِ فيها عِندَ رَبّي

My conjectures about you have become confused;

My conjectures regarding you have become entangled,

And knowledge of their hidden truth rests with my Lord.

And the knowledge of the unseen within them lies with my Lord.
