رضيتك مولاتي وارضيتني عبدا

وأمسى مملوكا فمن يحفظ الودا

You have pleased me, my Lord, and I am pleased to be Your servant,

And I have become Your possession, so who will preserve intimacy?

فإن صح لي هذا وأمسيت ملككم

فقد بلغت نفسي بك المنَّ والقصدا

If this becomes true for me, and I become your subject,

Then I will have attained from You favor and purpose.

فقالت نعم أرضى وأهلا ومرحباً

فما مثل هذا العبد يستأهل الردا

She said “Yes, I am pleased and welcome.”

No slave deserves rejection like this.

لك الحمدُ ياربي بلغت بها المنى

لك الحمد حمداً ليس يحصى له عدا

All praise to You my Lord, I have attained my wish,

Endless praise to You that cannot be counted.

فلما بدا لي حسنها وجمالها

ولهت فلم الق من عشقها بدا

When her beauty and charm appeared to me,

I became distracted, unable to find any alternative to loving her.

فملكتها روحي ومالي ومهجتي

وأصفيتها مني المحبة والودا

She possessed my soul, my money and my mind,

And I purified for her my love and intimacy.
