O you who have seen the full moon—the full moon of the sky—
O you who saw the full moon in the sky's full moon,
Going evening and morning to his market!
Going and returning to its marketplace,
إذاwhenever مَزَّقَtears الثَّوبَthe cloth مِقراضُهhis shears
إذا مَزَّقَ الثَّوبَ مِقراضُه
تمزَّقَis torn قلبيmy heart كتَمزيقِهlike its being torn
تمزَّقَ قلبي كتَمزيقِه
Whenever his shears tear the cloth,
When its shredder shreds the garment,
My heart is torn as the cloth is torn.
My heart is torn to shreds like its shredding.
وأطيبُand sweeter منthan رَوْحِthe breath of ريحِthe breeze of الجِنانِthe gardens
وأطيبُ من رَوْحِ ريحِ الجِنانِ
خُطوطٌlines تَرَوَّيْنَdrank their fill منfrom ريقِهhis saliva
خُطوطٌ تَرَوَّيْنَ من ريقِه
And sweeter than the breath of the gardens' breeze
And sweeter than the spirit of the scent of paradise
Are lines that drank their fill of his saliva.
Are lines he relates from his saliva.
