When we weave poetry about you, made easy
When we compose poetry about you, its meanings come easily to us
For us are its meanings, and their difficulties yield.
And its difficulties become tractable.
فَماfor not اِنتَظَمَتwere strung إِلّاexcept عَلَيكَupon you عُقودُهاtheir necklaces
فَما اِنتَظَمَت إِلّا عَلَيكَ عُقودُها
وَلاand not اِنتَشَرَتwere spread out إِلّاexcept عَلَيكَupon you ثِيابُهاtheir garments
وَلا اِنتَشَرَت إِلّا عَلَيكَ ثِيابُها
For their necklaces are strung upon you alone,
Its verses fall into place only because of you,
And their garments are spread over you alone.
And its garb spreads out only over you.
