ألهم يوقظني وجفني نائم
والصبرand patience يقعدنيkeeps me seated وعزميand my resolve قائمstanding
والصبر يقعدني وعزمي قائم
Worry wakes me while my eyelid sleeps.
Inspiration awakens me though my eyelids are asleep
And patience keeps me seated while my resolve stands firm.
Patience makes me sit though my will is standing
فالىso until متىwhen اغضيI lower my eyes واخرسand I silence منطقيmy speech
فالى متى اغضي واخرس منطقي
حتىuntil كأنهas though it فميmy mouth عليهupon it خاتمa seal
حتى كأنه فمي عليه خاتم
So how long shall I lower my eyes and silence my speech,
Until when should I turn a blind eye and mute my tongue
until it is as though my mouth has a seal upon it?
As if a seal were upon my mouth
