أَتَرجو اِعتِذاري يَاِبنَ أَروى وَرَجعَتي

أَتَرجو اِعتِذاري يَاِبنَ أَروى وَرَجعَتي

عَنِ الحَقِّ قِدَماً غالَ حِلمَكَ غولُ

عَنِ الحَقِّ قِدَماً غالَ حِلمَكَ غولُ

Do you hope for my apology, O son of Arwa, and my turning

Do you hope for my apology, O son of Arwa, and my return

Away from the truth? A ghoul has long since carried off your reason.

From the truth a step, your forbearance has been long

وَإِنَّ دُعائي كُلَّ يَومٍ وَلَيلَةٍ

وَإِنَّ دُعائي كُلَّ يَومٍ وَلَيلَةٍ

عَلَيكَ بِما أَسدَيتَهُ لَطَويلُ

عَلَيكَ بِما أَسدَيتَهُ لَطَويلُ

And indeed my prayer, every day and night,

And my supplication every day and night

Against you for what you have done is long.

Is for you, for what you have endured is long

وَإِنَّ اِغتِرابي في البِلادِ وَجَفوَتي

وَإِنَّ اِغتِرابي في البِلادِ وَجَفوَتي

وَشَتمِيَ في ذاتِ الإِلَهِ قَليلُ

وَشَتمِيَ في ذاتِ الإِلَهِ قَليلُ

And indeed my exile in the lands and the harsh treatment I suffer

And my estrangement in the lands and my aloofness

And the insults I endure are a small thing in God's cause.

And my insults against the being of God are few
