وَيُخطِئ عُذري وَجهَ جُرمِيَ عِندَها

وَيُخطِئ عُذري وَجهَ جُرمِيَ عِندَها

فَأَجني إِلَيها الذَنبَ مِن حَيثُ لا أَدري

فَأَجني إِلَيها الذَنبَ مِن حَيثُ لا أَدري

And my excuse misses the point of my offense in her eyes.

And he errs my excuse and face of my crime to her

So I commit an offense against her without knowing it.

So I commit the sin to her from where I don't know

إِذا أَذنَبَت أَعدَدتُ عُذراً لِذَنبِها

فَإِن سَخَطَت كانَ اِعتِذاري مِنَ العُذرِ

فَإِن سَخَطَت كانَ اِعتِذاري مِنَ العُذرِ

When she does wrong, I prepare an excuse for her wrongdoing.

If she sins, I prepare an excuse for her sin

Then, if she is displeased, I apologize for the excuse.

So if she becomes angry, my apology is from the excuse

وَإِن كُنتُ لَم أَذكُركِ إِلّا عَلى ذِكرِ

وَإِن كُنتُ لَم أَذكُركِ إِلّا عَلى ذِكرِ

Despair reminds me of you amid hopes,

Despair reminds me of you in the presence of wishes

though I never recall you without already having you in mind.

And if I did not remember you except upon remembrance
