اعلم بأنَّ مسرَّتي

اعلم بأنَّ مسرَّتي

لو كانَ فيها ما يضرُّكْ

لو كانَ فيها ما يضرُّكْ

Know that my joy—

Know that if my happiness

if it held anything that harmed you—

Would cause you any harm

لتركتُ ذلك واتبع

لتركتُ ذلك واتبع

تُ مضرَّتي فيما يسرُّكْ

تُ مضرَّتي فيما يسرُّكْ

I would abandon that and pursue

I would abandon it to pursue

my own harm in whatever pleases you.

What brings you joy instead
