بِنَفسِيَ مَن أَشتَكي حُبَّهُ

وَمَن إِن شَكا الحُبَّ لَم يَكذِبِ

Myself I blame for his love,

And if love blames, it does not lie,

وَمَن إِن تَسَخَّطَ أَعتَبتُهُ

وَإِن يَرَني ساخِطاً يُعتِبِ

And if it is indignant, I appease it,

And if it sees me angry, it is displeased.

وَمَن لا أُبالي رِضا غَيرِهِ

إِذا هُوَ سُرَّ وَلَم يَغضَبِ

He who cares not if others are pleased

When he is happy and not angry,

وَمَن لا يُطيعُ بِنا أَهلَهُ

وَمَن قَد عَصَيتُ لَهُ أَقرَبي

He who does not obey his family because of us

And whom I have disobeyed my nearest kin,

وَمَن لَو نَهانِيَ مِن حُبِّهِ

عَنِ الماءِ عَطشانَ لَم أَشرَبِ

And if it prohibited me from its love,

Thirsty, I would not drink water,

وَمَن لا سِلاحَ لَهُ يُتَّقى

وَإِن هُوَ نوزِلَ لَم يُغلَبِ

And he who has no arms to be feared

And if he attacks, he will not be defeated.
