رَبَّ الْفُتُوَّةِ لا تَسْبِقْ إِلَى عَذَلٍ

رَبَّ الْفُتُوَّةِ لا تَسْبِقْ إِلَى عَذَلٍ

يَبِيتُ مِنْ مَسِّهِ قَلْبِي عَلَى مَضَضِ

يَبِيتُ مِنْ مَسِّهِ قَلْبِي عَلَى مَضَضِ

O master of chivalry, do not hasten to reproach;

Lord of greatness, do not be quick to blame

its touch leaves my heart in anguish through the night.

My heart stays restless from its touch all night

فَإِنْ تَكُنْ هَفْوَةٌ أَوْ زَلَّةٌ عَرَضَتْ

فَإِنْ تَكُنْ هَفْوَةٌ أَوْ زَلَّةٌ عَرَضَتْ

فَالسَّهْمُ يَصْدِفُ أَحْيَاناً عَنِ الْغَرَضِ

فَالسَّهْمُ يَصْدِفُ أَحْيَاناً عَنِ الْغَرَضِ

For if a lapse or a slip has occurred,

If it was an error or misstep that occurred

then an arrow sometimes veers away from the mark.

Then arrows can sometimes miss their mark
