I stand between life and death, a standstill

أنا بين الحياة والموت وقف

1. I stand between life and death, a standstill
A faint breath, a tear, and a halt

١. أنا بَيْن الحَياةِ والمَوْتِ وَقْفُ
نَفَسٌ خافِتٌ ودَمْعٌ وَوَكْفُ

2. Your love has befallen me in a way that cannot be expressed
By elegy or described in words

٢. حَلَّ بي مِنْ هَواكَ ما لَيْس يُنْبي
عَنْهُ نَعْتٌ ولا يُعبِّرُ وَصْفُ

3. How strange is the turn of your cheek, and your kindness
Then what is from you but rejection

٣. عَجباً لانْعِطافِ صُدْغَيْكَ والمع
طفِ والجِيْدِ ثُمَّ ما منكَ عَطْفُ

4. My chest tightened with the narrowness of your embrace
My eyelids stopped confused at that halt

٤. ضَاق صَدْري بِضيقِ حِجْلِكَ واسْتَوْ
قَفَ طَرْفي حَيْرانَ ذاكَ الوَقْفُ

5. How can the heart's shackles be undone
When it's devoted to love, bound by earrings and bracelet

٥. كَيْفَ يُرْجَى فِكاكُ قلبٍ مُعنّىً
في غَرامٍ قَيْداهُ قِرْطٌ وشَنْفُ
