صَبَرتُ عَلى اِختِيارِكَ وَاِضطِراري

صَبَرتُ عَلى اِختِيارِكَ وَاِضطِراري

وَقَلَّ مَعَ الهَوى فيكَ اِنتِصاري

وَقَلَّ مَعَ الهَوى فيكَ اِنتِصاري

I endured your free choice and my own constraint.

I was patient with your choice and my coercion

And with love for you, my power to defend myself waned.

And with love for you, my triumph diminished

وَكانَ يَعافُ حَملَ الضَيمِ قَلبي

وَكانَ يَعافُ حَملَ الضَيمِ قَلبي

فَقَرَّ عَلى تَحَمُّلِهِ قَراري

فَقَرَّ عَلى تَحَمُّلِهِ قَراري

And my heart once disdained bearing injustice;

My heart once endured the burden of injustice

So my resolve settled on enduring it.

But now it struggles to bear it

فَدَيتُكَ طالَ ظُلمُكَ وَاِحتِمالي

فَدَيتُكَ طالَ ظُلمُكَ وَاِحتِمالي

كَما كَثُرَت ذُنوبُكَ وَاِغتِفاري

كَما كَثُرَت ذُنوبُكَ وَاِغتِفاري

May I be your ransom! Your injustice and my endurance have lasted long,

I ransomed you, though long has been your tyranny and my endurance

Just as your sins and my acts of forgiveness have multiplied.

Numerous as your sins are, so is my forgiveness
