ماwhat ضَرَّwould harm مِنhim whose بَعدَdeparted السُرورِjoy بِبُعدِهِthrough his absence
ما ضَرَّ مِن بَعدَ السُرورِ بِبُعدِهِ
لَوif كانَhe were يجمِلُacting graciously فيin صِيانَةِprotecting عَبدِهِhis slave
لَو كانَ يجمِلُ في صِيانَةِ عَبدِهِ
What harm would it have done him whose absence drove joy away,
No harm came from his distance after joy
Had he been gracious in protecting his slave?
Had it been proper to protect his servant

مِنof أَنthat يُؤَثِّرَmight leave a mark ناظِريmy gaze فيon خَدِّهِhis cheek
مِن أَن يُؤَثِّرَ ناظِري في خَدِّهِ
He appears, and I lower my gaze in awe and fear
He appears, so I lower my gaze in awe and fear
That my gaze might leave a mark on his cheek.
Lest my looking affects his cheek
قَدindeed صِرتُI have come to أَعجَبُmarvel أَنthat عِلَّةَthe ailment طَرفِهِhis gaze
قَد صِرتُ أَعجَبُ أَن عِلَّةَ طَرفِهِ
لَيسَتdoes not تُؤَثِّرُcause عِلَّةٌan ailment فيin وُدِّهِhis affection
لَيسَت تُؤَثِّرُ عِلَّةٌ في وُدِّهِ
I have come to marvel that the ailment of his gaze
I'm amazed that the reason for his glance
Causes no ailment in his affection.
Is no reason affecting his love
