لامَ العَذولُ عَلَيهِ

لامَ العَذولُ عَلَيهِ

فَقُلتُ حَسبُكَ حَسبي

فَقُلتُ حَسبُكَ حَسبي

The faultfinding censor reproached me on his account.

The reproacher rebuked me on his account.

I said, “Let it suffice you that he suffices me.”

So I said: Let what suffices me suffice you.

فَلَيسَ عَينُكَ عَيني

فَلَيسَ عَينُكَ عَيني

وَلَيسَ قَلبُكَ قَلبي

وَلَيسَ قَلبُكَ قَلبي

For your eye is not my eye,

For your eye is not my eye,

nor is your heart my heart.

And your heart is not my heart.

وَلَو رَأَيتَ حَبيبي

وَلَو رَأَيتَ حَبيبي

لَقُلتَ ذا رَبُّ رَبّي

لَقُلتَ ذا رَبُّ رَبّي

Had you but seen my beloved,

And if you saw my beloved,

you would have said, “This is the Lord of my Lord.”

You would surely say: This is the Lord of my Lord.
