I remembered you—not that I had forgotten you for an instant.
I remembered you not because I forgot you for a moment,
And the easiest part of remembrance is my tongue’s remembrance.
And the easiest thing to remember is my tongue remembering you,
وكِدتُand I nearly بلاwithout وَجدٍecstasy أموتُdie منfrom الهوىpassionate love
وكِدتُ بلا وَجدٍ أموتُ من الهوى
وهامand went wild عليَّupon me القلبُthe heart بالخفقانِwith throbbing
وهام عليَّ القلبُ بالخفقانِ
And without ecstasy I nearly died of passionate love.
I almost died of passion without finding you,
And my heart went wild within me, throbbing.
And my heart pounded with anxiety,
فلماso when أرانيshowed me الوجدُecstasy أنَّكَthat you حاضريpresent with me
فلما أراني الوجدُ أنَّكَ حاضري
شَهِدتُكَI witnessed you موجوداًpresent بكلin every مكانِplace
شَهِدتُكَ موجوداً بكل مكانِ
So when ecstasy showed me that you were present with me,
So when passion showed me that you are present,
I witnessed you present in every place.
I felt you present everywhere,
فخاطبتُso I addressed موجوداًone present بغيرwithout تكلمspeaking
فخاطبتُ موجوداً بغير تكلم
ولاحظتand I beheld معلوماone known بغيرِwithout عيانِdirect sight
ولاحظت معلوما بغيرِ عيانِ
So I addressed one present, without speaking,
So I addressed you, present without speaking,
And beheld one known, without direct sight.
And saw you known without seeing.
