لَوif لَمnot تَكُنwere دارُكِyour home شَرقيَّةًto the east
لَو لَم تَكُن دارُكِ شَرقيَّةً
لَمnot أَستَطِبI would find pleasant ريحَthe scent of نَسيمِthe breeze of الجَنوبthe south
لَم أَستَطِب ريحَ نَسيمِ الجَنوب
Were your home not to the east,
I would not savor the scent of the southern breeze.
ريحٌa wind إِذاwhenever هَبَّتit blows تَنَسَّمتُهاI breathe it in
ريحٌ إِذا هَبَّت تَنَسَّمتُها
تَأتيit comes قَريباًrecent عَهدُهاits contact بِالحَبيبwith the beloved
تَأتي قَريباً عَهدُها بِالحَبيب
A wind that, whenever it blows, I breathe in—
it comes fresh from the beloved's presence.
