أُحِبُّك حبّاً شابه بنصيحةٍ

أُحِبُّك حبّاً شابه بنصيحةٍ

أبٌ لك مأمونٌ عليك شفيقُ

أبٌ لك مأمونٌ عليك شفيقُ

I love you with a love mingled with sincere counsel

I love you with caring advice

by a father to you, trustworthy and tenderly concerned for you.

A father for you, trusted and kind

وأُقسم ما بيني وبينك قُربَةٌ

وأُقسم ما بيني وبينك قُربَةٌ

ولكنَّ قلبي بالحسانِ عَلُوقُ

ولكنَّ قلبي بالحسانِ عَلُوقُ

And I swear there is no kinship between you and me,

And I swear there is closeness between us

but my heart clings to the beautiful ones.

But my heart is set high for doing good
