ماnot بَينناbetween us مِنany لذةpleasure إِلّاexcept المنىwishes
ما بَيننا مِن لذة إِلّا المنى
وَتَعانَقand the embrace الأَشواقthe longings بِالأَشواقwith the longings
وَتَعانَق الأَشواق بِالأَشواق
There is no pleasure between us but wishes,
Our souls entwined in pleasure's embrace
and the embrace of longing with longing,
As yearning for yearning sought lover's face
وَتَرامُقand the exchange of glances الأَلحاظthe eyes خيفةfor fear of كاشحa foe
وَتَرامُق الأَلحاظ خيفة كاشح
بَتَسارَعٍin haste وَتلفتand the turning الأَعناقthe necks
بَتَسارَعٍ وَتلفت الأَعناق
and eyes exchanging glances in fear of a foe,
Eyes meeting eyes with bashful grace
in haste, with necks turning about.
Necks craning, twisting, quickening pace
