لِلَّهِ أَنتَ عَلى جَفائِكَ

ماذا أُؤَمِّلُ مِن وَفائِك

For God's sake, you are unforgiving to me

What can I expect of your loyalty?

إِنّي عَلى ما كانَ مِنـ

ـكَ لَواثِقٌ بِجَميلِ رائِك

I am confident, based on your past deeds

That you will again show me good favor

فَكَّرتُ فيمَ جَفَوتَني

فَوَجَدتُ ذاكَ لِطولِ نائِك

I thought about how you shunned me

And found that was due to your long absence

فَرَأَيتُ أَن أَسعى إِلَيـ

ـكَ وَأَن أُبادِرَ في لِقائِك

So I saw I should seek you out

And take the initiative to meet with you

حَتّى أُجَدِّدُ ما تَغَيَّـ

ـرَ لي وَأَخلَقَ مِن إِخائِك

So that I may restore what changed for me

And create anew our brotherly bond
