وَجَوهَرُ أَلفاظي وَحَلْيُ خَلائِقي

وَجَوهَرُ أَلفاظي وَحَلْيُ خَلائِقي

وَرَونَقُ أَفعالي وَحُسنُ طَرائِقي

وَرَونَقُ أَفعالي وَحُسنُ طَرائِقي

And the jewel of my words and the adornment of my character,

The essence of my words, the beauty of my nature,

And the splendor of my deeds and the beauty of my ways,

The elegance of my deeds, the virtue of my ways,

لِأَن وَجَدَت نَفسي مِنَ الحُبِّ سَلوَةً

لِأَن وَجَدَت نَفسي مِنَ الحُبِّ سَلوَةً

فَعادَت إِلى مَن لا يَجودُ لِعاشِقِ

فَعادَت إِلى مَن لا يَجودُ لِعاشِقِ

Because my soul found respite from love,

Stem from finding in love a sweet delight,

So it returned to one who is not generous to a lover.

Which moves me toward one who won't be kind to lovers.
