My soul is in love with one who will make me suffer
and make my body a gift to the burial niche and the grave.
And turn my body into a shroud and a tombstone

With his abandonment, as if I were imprisoned

وَإِنّيand indeed I لَأَخشىI surely fear إِنif تَراقَتrose higher أُمورُهُhis fortunes
وَإِنّي لَأَخشى إِن تَراقَت أُمورُهُ
بِهِwith him أَنthat يَثورَrise up الجِنُّthe jinn فيهِover him عَلىagainst الإِنسِhumankind
بِهِ أَن يَثورَ الجِنُّ فيهِ عَلى الإِنسِ
And I truly fear, should his fortunes lift
And I fear if his affairs fall apart
him higher, that the jinn will rise against humankind over him.
The jinn in him will rebel against mankind
