لَمْdid not يُبْقِleave فيin قَلْبِheart of عَاشِقٍa lover رَمَقاًa breath of life
لَمْ يُبْقِ في قَلْبِ عَاشِقٍ رَمَقاً
لَمَّاwhen بَدَاhe appeared وَالعُيُونُand the eyes تَرْمقُهُgaze at him
لَمَّا بَدَا وَالعُيُونُ تَرْمقُهُ
He left no breath of life in a lover's heart
No life remained in any lover's heart
when he appeared, with eyes gazing at him.
When he appeared, and eyes gazed upon him,
وَكَانَand he would عَزْمِيmy resolve عَنِaway from السُّلوِّforgetting the beloved إذَاwhenever
وَكَانَ عَزْمِي عَنِ السُّلوِّ إذَا
عَنَّفنيrebuked me العَاذِلُونthe reproachers يُوثِقُهُhe strengthens it
عَنَّفني العَاذِلُون يُوثِقُهُ
And my resolve not to forget him, whenever
And my determination was to never give up
the reproachers rebuked me, he would strengthen.
When reproachers sought to discourage me,
وَكَيْفَand how يَسْلُوهforget him مُغْرَمٌa passionate lover دَنِفٌsick with love
وَكَيْفَ يَسْلُوه مُغْرَمٌ دَنِفٌ
يَرىhe sees جَميعَall of الوُجودِexistence يَعْشَقُهُloves him
يَرى جَميعَ الوُجودِ يَعْشَقُهُ
And how can a languishing lover forget him
And how could a doting, tender lover find solace
when he sees all existence loving him?
When all of existence was in love with him?
