لَو كانَ قَلبي مَعي ما اِختَرتُ غَيرُكُمُ

لَو كانَ قَلبي مَعي ما اِختَرتُ غَيرُكُمُ

وَلا رَضيتُ سِواكُم في الهَوى بَدَلا

وَلا رَضيتُ سِواكُم في الهَوى بَدَلا

If my heart were with me, I would choose no one but you,

If my heart were with me, I would choose none but you,

Nor would I accept anyone other than you as a substitute in love.

Nor would I accept any but you as the one I love;

لَكِنَّهُ راغِبٌ في مَن يُعَذِّبُهُ

لَكِنَّهُ راغِبٌ في مَن يُعَذِّبُهُ

فَلَيسَ يَقبَلُ لا لَوماً وَلا عَذَلا

فَلَيسَ يَقبَلُ لا لَوماً وَلا عَذَلا

But it longs for the one who torments it,

But it takes pleasure in one who torments it,

So it accepts neither blame nor reproach.

So it will not accept blame or reproach.
