قُل لِمَن أُدنيهِ جَهدي

وَهوَ يُقصينِيَ جَهدَه

Tell the one I make efforts for

While he distances himself from me

وَلِمَن تَرضاهُ مَولا

كَ وَلا يَرضاكَ عَبدَه

And for the one whose master you wish to please

While he does not wish to please you, his servant

أَمَليحٌ بِمَليحِ الشَكلِ

أَن يُخلَفَ وَعدَه

Can a charming man, with charming looks

Go back on his word?

أَم جَميلٌ بِجَميلِ الوَجهِ

أَن يَنقُضَ عَهدَه

Can a beautiful one, with a beautiful face

Break his vow?

ما الَّذي صَدَّكَ عَنّي

لَيتَ ما صَدَّكَ صَدَّه

What has kept you from me?

I wish whatever has kept you had itself been barred!
