1. خَلَّيتُ كُلَّ الناسِ ما خَلاكُمُ

    وَقُلتُ ما لي أَحَدٌ سِواكُمُ

    I forsook all people, save you;

    And said, “I have no one but you.”

  2. وَأَنتُمُ عَلَيَّ ما أَجفاكُمُ

    خُلقِيَ خُلقي دائِماً أَرعاكُمُ

    Yet how cold you are to me!

    My nature is ever to care for you;

  3. وَكُلُّ ما أَسخَطَني أَرضاكُمُ

    وَاللَهُ لا أَفلَحَ مَن يَهواكُمُ

    And whatever displeases me pleases you.

    By God, whoever loves you will never prosper.

  4. وَبَعدَ ذا سُبحانَ مَن أَعطاكُمُ

    And after all this—glory be to Him who gave you what you have.
