إِن تَكُن نالَتكِ بِالضَربِ يَدي

إِن تَكُن نالَتكِ بِالضَربِ يَدي

وَأَصابَتكِ بِما لَم أُرِدِ

وَأَصابَتكِ بِما لَم أُرِدِ

If my hand has struck you,

If my hands have stricken you

and hurt you in a way I did not intend,

And harmed you against my will

فَلَقَد كُنتُ لَعَمري فادِياً

فَلَقَد كُنتُ لَعَمري فادِياً

لَكِ بِالمالِ وَبَعضِ الوَلَدِ

لَكِ بِالمالِ وَبَعضِ الوَلَدِ

then indeed, by my life, I have been ready to ransom

Then for my life I'd be your ransom

you with wealth and some of my children.

With wealth and children, as you will

فَثِقي مِنّي بِعَهدٍ ثابِتٍ

فَثِقي مِنّي بِعَهدٍ ثابِتٍ

وَضَميرٍ خالِصِ المُعتَقَدِ

وَضَميرٍ خالِصِ المُعتَقَدِ

So trust in my steadfast pledge

So trust my word and troth fast-sworn

and in a heart of sincere conviction.

My faith and conscience pure as morn

وَلَئِن ساءَكِ يَومٌ فَاعلَمي

وَلَئِن ساءَكِ يَومٌ فَاعلَمي

أَن سَيَتلوهُ سُرورٌ بِغَدِ

أَن سَيَتلوهُ سُرورٌ بِغَدِ

And if a day has grieved you, then know

And if some days bring pain and sorrow

that joy will follow it on the morrow.

Joy comes on the morrow
