يا قمراً قلبي له مطلع
وشادناand a young gazelle فيin مهجتيmy soul يرتعhe grazes
وشادنا في مهجتي يرتع
O moon whose rising place is my heart,
O moon, my heart rises for you,
And young gazelle who grazes in my soul,
And you pasture in my innermost being,
واللَهby God ماnot أطمعI hope فيfor العيشlife مذsince
واللَه ما أطمع في العيش مذ
أصبحتI have become فيfor وصلكunion with you لاnot أطمعI hope
أصبحت في وصلك لا أطمع
By God, I have no hope of living since
By God, since attaining your companionship,
I lost hope of union with you.
I no longer aspire for life,
ليتwould that كماjust as يرتعhe grazes فيin مهجتيmy soul
ليت كما يرتع في مهجتي
أنيthat I فيin ريقتهhis saliva أكرعI drink deeply
أني في ريقته أكرع
Would that, just as he grazes in my soul,
If only I could sprint,
I could drink deeply of his saliva.
To you, like you graze in my soul,
Sol 6.1
