اعلَم بأنَّ مسرَّتي

اعلَم بأنَّ مسرَّتي

لو كان فيها ما يَضرُّكْ

لو كان فيها ما يَضرُّكْ

Know that my joy—

Know that if my happiness

if anything in it were to harm you—

Would cause you any harm

لَتَركتُ ذلك واتَّبَع

لَتَركتُ ذلك واتَّبَع

تُ مضرَّتي فيما يسرُّكْ

تُ مضرَّتي فيما يسرُّكْ

I would abandon it and pursue

I would abandon it to pursue

my own hurt in whatever pleases you.

What brings you joy instead
