They try to turn me from Salim, and I turn them away;

Salim is the very skin between my eye and nose.
And Salim is the skin between the eye and the nose.
وَلَوand if بانَhe departed مِنfrom مُلكيmy possession لَبِتُّthen I would spend the night مُسَهَّداًsleepless
وَلَو بانَ مِن مُلكي لَبِتُّ مُسَهَّداً

Were he parted from my keeping, I would spend the night sleepless,
And if he left my possession, I would spend the night sleepless,
while Nubhan sleeps, heedless of the sorrow I bear.
While Nabhan sleeps, heedless of the grief I bear.
