Yes, whenever the beloved turned to look behind,
Yes, whenever love looked back
He saw me and said, “I see you behind me.”
It saw me saying, behind me I see you
فَفتّنيso he crushed me فَقلتso I said فَديتُكَmay I be your ransom دَعنيleave me be

So he crushed me, and I said, “May I be your ransom, leave me be!
So it tempted me and I said, I devote myself to you, leave me be
How can you go, when I am behind you?”
How could you go when I am behind you
