I am definitely un-dishonest, I am completely un-ruthless ---
maj! mu'wIjmo' bIrIQ!
good! because of my words you are injured!

The Original

Literal Translation

I loved you once; love still, perhaps,
Within my soul is not completely extinguished.
But let it not trouble you further;
I do not want to sorrow you for anything.

I loved you once without words, hopelessly;
Now by joy, now jealousy tormented.
I loved you once so sincerely, so tenderly -
As God grant you to be loved by another.
