1. أَميرَتي لا تَغفِري ذَنبي

    فَإِنَّ ذَنبي شِدَّةُ الحُبِّ

    My princess, do not forgive my sin,

    For my sin is the intensity of love.

  2. يا لَيتَني كُنتُ أَنا المُبتَلى

    مِنكِ بِأَدنى ذَلِكَ الذَنبِ

    Oh, would that I were the one afflicted

    By you with the slightest measure of that sin.

  3. حَدَّثتُ قَلبي كاذِباً عَنكُمُ

    حَتّى اِستَحَت عَينَيَ مِن قَلبي

    I spoke to my heart, lying about you,

    Until my eye grew ashamed before my heart.

  4. إِن كانَ يُرضيكُم عَذابي وَأَن

    أَموتَ بِالحَسرَةِ وَالكَربِ

    If it pleases you that I suffer and

    Die of sorrow and anguish,

  5. فَالسَمعُ وَالطاعةُ مِنّي لَكُم

    حَسبي بِما تَرضَونَ لي حَسبي

    Then I shall listen to you and obey;

    What you approve for me is enough for me—enough.
