فَأَذرَيتَso you shed دَمعاًtears بِالدِماءِwith blood مُصَبَّغاًdyed
فَأَذرَيتَ دَمعاً بِالدِماءِ مُصَبَّغاً
كَماjust as يَتَواهىcomes undone عَقدُthe knot of عِقدٍa necklace مُنَسَّقِneatly arranged
كَما يَتَواهى عَقدُ عِقدٍ مُنَسَّقِ
So you shed tears dyed with blood,
So you shed tears stained with blood
As the knot of a neatly strung necklace comes undone.
Like a string of evenly arranged pearls
وَقَدand already باشَرَtouched اللَيلَthe night الصَباحُthe dawn كَأَنَّهُas though it were
وَقَد باشَرَ اللَيلَ الصَباحُ كَأَنَّهُ
بَقِيَّةُa remnant of كُحلٍkohl فيin حَماليقِthe inner eyelids of أَزرَقِa blue-eyed man
بَقِيَّةُ كُحلٍ في حَماليقِ أَزرَقِ
And dawn had touched the night, as though it were
And the morn embraced the night as though
A trace of kohl along a blue-eyed man's inner eyelids.
It were blue tatters of kohl that remained
