مَرامي كُل ما تَهوى مَرامي

وَإِن أَكُ فيكَ مَمنوع المَرامي

My hopes are what you desire, my hopes

Though for me your hopes are forbidden

لَقَد أَحرَمتَني وَصلاً حَلالاً

وَرُحتُ مُقَلداً بِدَم حَرامِ

You have deprived me of permitted company

And I am left wearing a forbidden blood-debt

وَإِن يَكُ في الوَرى أَزرى فَقَدري

سَما يَسمو سُمُوّاً فَهُوَ سامي

If in creation there is one more miserable, then it is my fate

To rise high, however high, is my destiny
