يا ساكِتاً عَن كلامي لا يكلمُني

يا ساكِتاً عَن كلامي لا يكلمُني

تِيهاً أَلا كلُّ فعلٍ منكَ مَبْرُورُ

تِيهاً أَلا كلُّ فعلٍ منكَ مَبْرُورُ

O you who remain silent at my words and do not speak to me,

O you who are silent to my words, you do not speak to me

out of pride—indeed, every deed of yours is praiseworthy.

Wandering, truly every deed from you is excused

إِذا سَكَتَّ فمنكَ الدُّرُّ مُنْتَظِمٌ

إِذا سَكَتَّ فمنكَ الدُّرُّ مُنْتَظِمٌ

وإِنْ نَطَقْتَ فمنكَ الدُّرُّ مَنْثورُ

وإِنْ نَطَقْتَ فمنكَ الدُّرُّ مَنْثورُ

When you are silent, your pearls are strung together;

If you are silent, then from you arranged pearls

and if you speak, your pearls are scattered.

And if you speak, then from you scattered pearls
