يا ذا الَّذي بِعَذابي ظَلَّ مُفتَخِرا

يا ذا الَّذي بِعَذابي ظَلَّ مُفتَخِرا

هَل أَنتَ إِلّا مَليكٌ جارَ إِذ قَدَرا

هَل أَنتَ إِلّا مَليكٌ جارَ إِذ قَدَرا

O you who kept taking pride in my torment,

O you who boast of my torment

Are you anything but a king who acted unjustly when he had power?

Are you anything but a neighbor when fate decrees?

لَولا الهَوى لَتَجارَينا عَلى قَدَرٍ

لَولا الهَوى لَتَجارَينا عَلى قَدَرٍ

فَإِن أُفِق مِنهُ يَوماً ما فَسَوفَ تَرى

فَإِن أُفِق مِنهُ يَوماً ما فَسَوفَ تَرى

Were it not for love, we would vie on equal terms;

Were it not for passion, we would have vied in measure

And if I recover from it some day, then you will see.

For if I recover from it one day, you shall see
