Asounu Karamati

اصون كرامتى من أجل حبى
فإن النفس عندى فوق قلبى
رضيت هوانها فيما تقاسي
وما ازلالها فى الحب دأبي
فما هانت لغيرك فى هواها
ولا مالت لغيرك فى التصبي
ولكنى أردت هوى عفيفا
ورمت لك الهنا فى ظل قربي
تبادلنى الغرام على وفاء
واسقيك الرضا من :كأس حبى
ولما ايقنت روحى بشر
وكان الغدر فى عينيك ينبى
هجرتك والأسي يدمى فؤادى
وصنت كرامتى من قبل حبى

I'm preserving my dignity for my love's sake
For if my soul was above my heart
I would satisfy its degradation in suffering
And it is still my natural disposition in love
So in love I stopped caring about anyone but you
And was not inclined towards anyone but you in courtship
But I wanted a chaste love
And I gave you happiness in the shadow of my closeness
You exchanged with me passion for loyalty
As I you drank your fill from the cup of my love
And when my soul was sure of evil
And that betrayal was far off in your eyes
I abandoned you and the misery bled my heart
And I preserved my dignity before my love
