وما التذاذي بدنيا ما بلغتُ بها

وما التذاذي بدنيا ما بلغتُ بها

‏طيب الحياة ولا جادت بحاجاتي

‏طيب الحياة ولا جادت بحاجاتي

And what delight is mine in a world where I have not attained

I have no joy in this life that does not fulfill

The sweetness of life, and which has not granted me what I need?

My needs nor brings me comfort and tranquility

‏ياضيعة العمر إن ولّى بلا هدف

‏ياضيعة العمر إن ولّى بلا هدف

‏إن ترض عنّي فقد أدركتُ غاياتي

‏إن ترض عنّي فقد أدركتُ غاياتي

O, what a waste of life if it passes without a goal!

A life without purpose is time gone to waste

If you are pleased with me, then I have attained my goals.

If you are pleased with me, my purpose is complete
