أضعْتَ حقي لأجلِ ليني

أضعْتَ حقي لأجلِ ليني

وغيرُ ذا كانَ منكَ أحسنْ

وغيرُ ذا كانَ منكَ أحسنْ

You disregarded my right because of my gentleness.

You wronged me for being too kind,

Doing otherwise would have been better of you.

Though better could have come from you.

فاعدلْ ولا تغتررْ بحلمي

فاعدلْ ولا تغتررْ بحلمي

فالماءُ كالنارِ إذْ يُسَخَّنْ

فالماءُ كالنارِ إذْ يُسَخَّنْ

So be just, and do not be deceived by my forbearance.

So do right, don't be fooled by my patience,

For water is like fire when heated.

For water is like fire when heated.
