نَصيري اللَهُ مِنكِ إِذا اِعتَدَيتِ

نَصيري اللَهُ مِنكِ إِذا اِعتَدَيتِ

وَقَد عذَّبتِ قَلبي إِذ جَفَوتِ

وَقَد عذَّبتِ قَلبي إِذ جَفَوتِ

God is my defender against you when you wrong me.

My protector is God against you if you oppress me

And you have tormented my heart when you shunned me.

Though you have tortured my heart when you were harsh

فَإِن يَكُ ذا مُغايَظَةً لِحِقدٍ

فَإِن يَكُ ذا مُغايَظَةً لِحِقدٍ

فَقَد وَاللَهِ يا أَمَلي اِشتَفَيتِ

فَقَد وَاللَهِ يا أَمَلي اِشتَفَيتِ

So if this is provocation born of spite,

And if this be out of spiteful malice

then, by God, O my hope, you have found satisfaction.

By God, O my hope, you have quenched my thirst

قَضى بِالسَبكِ حُبُّكِ في عِظامي

قَضى بِالسَبكِ حُبُّكِ في عِظامي

وَصَيَّرَني هَواكِ كَما اِشتَهَيتِ

وَصَيَّرَني هَواكِ كَما اِشتَهَيتِ

My love for you has decreed that my bones be melted down,

Your love has crept into my bones

and my passion for you has made me as you wished.

And your passion has made me just as I desired

فَلَو شاءَ الَّذي بِكُمُ اِبتَلاني

فَلَو شاءَ الَّذي بِكُمُ اِبتَلاني

لَعَجَّلَ راحَتي مِنكُم بِمَوتي

لَعَجَّلَ راحَتي مِنكُم بِمَوتي

So had He who afflicted me with you willed it,

Had He who tested me with you willed

He would have hastened my relief from you through my death.

He would have hastened my relief from you with my death
