عَلى ما كانَ مِن حَسّي وَبَسّي
I sought a gift for you, using my ingenuity,
With all the effort and energy I could muster.
فَلَمّاand when لَمnot أَجِدI found شَيئاًanything نَفيساًprecious
فَلَمّا لَم أَجِد شَيئاً نَفيساً

يَكونُ هَدِيَّةً أَهدَيتُ نَفسي
And when I found nothing precious
To serve as a gift, I gave you myself.
