قد علونا على الكَفَلْ

قد علونا على الكَفَلْ

واسترحنا من الخجلْ

واسترحنا من الخجلْ

We have mounted the rump,

We have risen above the shoulder,

And found relief from shame.

And rested from shame.

لم يزل في تمنع

لم يزل في تمنع

وإياء ولم أزلْ

وإياء ولم أزلْ

He kept holding back

He has not ceased being aloof

And refusing, while I persisted.

And averse, and I have not ceased

فبلغتُ الذي بلغت

فبلغتُ الذي بلغت

به غايةَ الأملْ

به غايةَ الأملْ

So I reached the one through whom I attained

So I have attained what I attained

The utmost of hope.

With it, the utmost of hope.
