وُدِّي لَكُمْ سَادتي بِالبُعْدِ ما نَقَصَا

وُدِّي لَكُمْ سَادتي بِالبُعْدِ ما نَقَصَا

وَالقَلْبُ في حُبِّكُمْ بالحَبِّ قَد قُنِصَا

وَالقَلْبُ في حُبِّكُمْ بالحَبِّ قَد قُنِصَا

My affection for you, my masters, has not diminished with distance.

My love for you, my masters, has not waned with distance,

And my heart, in loving you, has been snared with grain as bait.

And my heart's affection for you has not diminished.

غَاليْتُ فِيكُمْ وعَاصَيتُ العَذُولَ وَقَدْ

غَاليْتُ فِيكُمْ وعَاصَيتُ العَذُولَ وَقَدْ

أَطَعْتُمْ وَاشِياً قَدْرِي بِهِ رَخُصا

أَطَعْتُمْ وَاشِياً قَدْرِي بِهِ رَخُصا

I went to extremes for you and defied the reproacher, yet

I have been devoted to you, disobeying the critic,

you heeded a slanderer through whom my worth was cheapened.

And I have obeyed the slightest gesture, so gracious.

مَتى أَرى النَّصْرَ مِنْكُمْ مُقْبِلاً وأَرَى

مَتى أَرى النَّصْرَ مِنْكُمْ مُقْبِلاً وأَرَى

شَيْطَانَ ضِدِّي على أَعقابِهِ نَكَصَا

شَيْطَانَ ضِدِّي على أَعقابِهِ نَكَصَا

When shall I see victory approaching from you, and see

When will I see triumph coming from you, and see

my adversary's devil turn back on his heels?

My enemy devil retreating backward, vanquished?
