يَبكي فَتَسقي الدُموعُ وَجنَتَهُ
كَماjust as سَقىwatered الطَلُّthe dew وَردَةًa rose غَضَّهtender
كَما سَقى الطَلُّ وَردَةً غَضَّه
He weeps, and tears water his cheek,
His tears water his cheeks
As dew waters a tender rose.
As the dew waters a rosebud
إِذاwhen اِلتَوىcurled الصَدغُthe sidelock فَوقَover وَجنَتِهِhis cheek
إِذا اِلتَوى الصَدغُ فَوقَ وَجنَتِهِ
حَسِبتَyou would think تُفّاحَةًan apple بِهاin it عَضَّهa bite mark
حَسِبتَ تُفّاحَةً بِها عَضَّه
When the sidelock curls over his cheek,
When his temple crumples above his cheek
You would think it an apple with a bite mark.
You'd think it an apple with a bite in it
