لو قيل لي ما تمنّى

لو قيل لي ما تمنّى

لقلتُ قلبٌ قَنوعُ

لقلتُ قلبٌ قَنوعُ

If I were asked what I wished for,

A contented heart,

I would say: a contented heart,

A home, a wife—

ومسكنٌ وفتاةٌ

ومسكنٌ وفتاةٌ

فيها تقًى وخشوعُ

فيها تقًى وخشوعُ

And a home and a young woman

Devout, discreet.

In whom are piety and humility.
