وذي خبر وافي بما لا يقوله

حبيبي ولكن قد غدا يتجوه
And a bearer of news came with what is not said
He bears news, telling what my beloved would not say,
By my beloved; yet he has begun to seek status.
though now it seems he hints at it in a roundabout way.
فماso … not قلتI said منout of خوفٍfear مخافةَfor fear أنهthat he
فما قلت من خوفٍ مخافةَ أنه
إذاwhen راحhe departs منfrom عنديmy presence لهto him يتوجهhe heads
إذا راح من عندي له يتوجه
So I said nothing out of fear, lest he,
I do not speak my fear, lest he depart forthwith,
On leaving me, should make his way to him.
and when he leaves me, to her immediately make his way.
Sol 6.1
