وَإِنَّكَ إِذ أَطمَعتَني مِنكَ بالرِضا

وَإِنَّكَ إِذ أَطمَعتَني مِنكَ بالرِضا

وَأَيأستَني مِن بَعدِ ذَلِكَ بِالغَضَبْ

وَأَيأستَني مِن بَعدِ ذَلِكَ بِالغَضَبْ

And you, when you made me hope for your favor,

When you made me hope for your favor,

and afterward made me despair through your anger,

Then after that frustrated me with anger,

كَمُمكِنَةٍ مِن ضَرعِها كَفَّ حالِبٍ

كَمُمكِنَةٍ مِن ضَرعِها كَفَّ حالِبٍ

وَدافِقَةٍ مِن بَعدِ ذَلِكَ ما حَلَبْ

وَدافِقَةٍ مِن بَعدِ ذَلِكَ ما حَلَبْ

are like one who lets a milker’s hand reach her udder,

You were like a sheep letting her milker’s hands fall from her udder

and afterward spills what he has milked.

And after that not letting down her milk.
