وصِرْتُ لروحكِ تُرْبًا وماءْ

If you were roses, I would become the vessel,

If you were a rose, I became the vase

and I would become earth and water for your soul,

And I became the soil and water for your soul

وأسْقَطتُ عنكِ امتِحانَ الهوَى

وأسْقَطتُ عنكِ امتِحانَ الهوَى

لكيْ لا تُسائي إذا ما أُسَاءْ

لكيْ لا تُسائي إذا ما أُسَاءْ

and lift from you the trial of love,

And I removed from you the test of passion

so that you would not be hurt if I were hurt.

So you would not be mistreated if mistreated

غَداةَ جَرحْتُكِ، كنْتُ الدِّماءْ
