Love is a deep sea; whoever plunges into it heedlessly
Indeed, love is a flash for those who ventured into it vainly
Does not seek refuge in flight out of fear of it.
Not taking precautions to flee from it

منof الهوىlove أنthat منthe one whom تهواهyou love him ممتنعunattainable
من الهوى أن من تهواه ممتنع
فالنومso sleep ممتنعunattainable والقلبand the heart فيin كرَبanguish
فالنوم ممتنع والقلب في كرَب
It is part of love that the one you love is beyond reach;
It is the nature of love that the beloved is unattainable
So sleep is beyond reach, and the heart is in anguish.
So sleep is unattainable and the heart is anxious
