صَدَدتَ فَكُنتَ مَليحَ الصُّدُودِ

صَدَدتَ فَكُنتَ مَليحَ الصُّدُودِ

وأعرَضتَ أفدِيكَ مِن مُعرِضِ

وأعرَضتَ أفدِيكَ مِن مُعرِضِ

You turned away, and were lovely in your turning away.

You turned away, yet you looked graceful when turning,

And you averted yourself—I'd ransom you, you who turn away.

I sacrifice myself for you against all rejecters,

وفي حالةِ السُّخطِ لا في الرِّضا

وفي حالةِ السُّخطِ لا في الرِّضا

يَبينُ المحبُّ من المُبغِضِ

يَبينُ المحبُّ من المُبغِضِ

And in a state of anger, not of contentment,

It's in anger, not in joy, that the lover

The lover is distinguished from the hater.

Is distinguished from the hater,

ومَن كانَ في سُخطِهِ مُحسِناً

ومَن كانَ في سُخطِهِ مُحسِناً

فكيفَ يكونُ إذا ما رَضِي

فكيفَ يكونُ إذا ما رَضِي

And whoever is kind in his anger—

And he who does good even when angry,

Then what will he be like when he is pleased?

How would he be if he became pleased?
