1. مَولايَ كُن لِيَ وَحدي

    فَإِنَّني لَكَ وَحدَك

    My lord, be mine alone,

    for I am yours alone.

  2. وَكُن بِقَلبِكَ عِندي

    فَإِنَّ قَلبِيَ عِندَك

    And be with me in heart,

    for my heart is with you.

  3. لي فيكَ قَصدٌ جَميلٌ

    لاخَيَّبَ اللَهُ قَصدَك

    My intent toward you is good;

    may God never thwart your aim.

  4. حاشاكَ تُؤثِرُ بُعدي

    وَلَستُ أُؤثِرُ بُعدَك

    Far be it from you to prefer separation from me,

    and I do not prefer separation from you.

  5. إِن تَنسَ عَهدي إِنّي

    وَاللَهِ لَم أَنسَ عَهدَك

    If you forget my pledge, I—

    by God—have not forgotten yours.

  6. أَضَعتَ وُدَّ مُحِبٍّ

    مازالَ يَحفَظُ وُدَّك

    You have squandered a lover's affection,

    who still guards his love for you.

  7. مالي عَلَيكَ اِعتِراضٌ

    أَدِّب كَما شِئتَ عَبدَك

    I have no complaint against you;

    discipline your slave as you wish.

  8. مَولايَ إِن غِبتَ عَنّي

    وا سوءَ حالِيَ بَعدَك

    My lord, if you are away from me,

    alas for my wretched state after your departure!
