إِنّي وَإِن كُنتِ قَد أَسَأتِ بِيَ اليَو

إِنّي وَإِن كُنتِ قَد أَسَأتِ بِيَ اليَو

مَ لَراجٍ لِلعَطفِ مِنكِ غَدا

مَ لَراجٍ لِلعَطفِ مِنكِ غَدا

Indeed, though you have wronged me today,

Though I may have transgressed against you today

I still hope for tenderness from you tomorrow.

There remains hope for your kindness tomorrow

أَستَمتِعُ اللَيلَ بِالرَجاءِ وَإِن

أَستَمتِعُ اللَيلَ بِالرَجاءِ وَإِن

لَم أَرَ مِنكُم ما أَرتَجي أَبَدا

لَم أَرَ مِنكُم ما أَرتَجي أَبَدا

I take pleasure at night in hope, although

I pass the night happily in hope

I have never seen from you what I hope for.

Though I may never find what I wish from you

أَغُرُّ نَفسي بِكُم وَأَخدَعُها

أَغُرُّ نَفسي بِكُم وَأَخدَعُها

نَفسٌ تَرى الغَيَّ فيكُمُ رَشَدا

نَفسٌ تَرى الغَيَّ فيكُمُ رَشَدا

I beguile my soul with you and deceive it—

I delude myself about you and deceive myself

A soul that sees error as right guidance where you are concerned.

A soul that sees righteousness in you, rightly guided
