رَضِيتُ بِالْبَيْنِ إِيثَارَاً عَلَى سَكَنٍ

رَضِيتُ بِالْبَيْنِ إِيثَارَاً عَلَى سَكَنٍ

فِي مُعْشَرٍ وَدُّهُمْ إِنْ أَخْلَصُوا مَرَضُ

فِي مُعْشَرٍ وَدُّهُمْ إِنْ أَخْلَصُوا مَرَضُ

I was content with separation, preferring it to dwelling

I chose separation out of preference over living

Among people whose affection, even if sincere, is a disease.

Among a people whose affection, even if sincere, would be a torment

فَمَا أَسِيتُ لِشَيءٍ كُنْتُ أَمْلِكُهُ

فَمَا أَسِيتُ لِشَيءٍ كُنْتُ أَمْلِكُهُ

فِي فَقْدِ أَوْجُهِهِمْ عَنْ ثَرْوَتِي عِوَضُ

فِي فَقْدِ أَوْجُهِهِمْ عَنْ ثَرْوَتِي عِوَضُ

So I grieved for nothing that I once possessed;

So I have not been made unhappy by anything I once possessed

In no longer seeing their faces lies recompense for my wealth.

Losing sight of their faces was recompense for my wealth
