مُستريحٌ مَن تَشكَّى فسلا

مُستريحٌ مَن تَشكَّى فسلا

وخلي قلبُهُ من عَذلا

وخلي قلبُهُ من عَذلا

At ease is he who complained and then found solace.

Relaxed is he who complained of love,

And carefree is the heart of the one who reproached.

And emptied his heart of blame.

لا بِمن أهواهُ ما بي من ضنىً

لا بِمن أهواهُ ما بي من ضنىً

وبهِ وجديَ حتى نصلا

وبهِ وجديَ حتى نصلا

May the wasting sickness I suffer not afflict the one I love.

Not with whom I loved is there stinginess in me,

And may he feel my yearning until we meet.

And with him my love till we meet.

فأرى الدمعَ به مُشتغلاً

فأرى الدمعَ به مُشتغلاً

وأرىَ قلبي بهِ مشتَعلاً

وأرىَ قلبي بهِ مشتَعلاً

Then I see tears preoccupied with him,

So I see my tears preoccupied with him,

And I see my heart aflame for him.

And I see my heart aflame with him.

ويكونُ الود شيئاً واحداً

ويكونُ الود شيئاً واحداً

أبداً تضربُ فيه المثلا

أبداً تضربُ فيه المثلا

And love becomes one single thing,

And love becomes one thing

Forever—a love you hold up as an example.

Forever set as an example.
