[edit/عدّل] English Translation / ترجمة إنجليزية

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

[edit/عدّل] Original Arabic Lyrics / كلمات الأغنية

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
