بِتُّمyou spent the night هُجوداًasleep فيin الغِنىwealth وَلَوbut if اِنتَهَتcame to an end
بِتُّم هُجوداً في الغِنى وَلَو اِنتَهَت
هَذيthese النُفوسُthe souls لَبِتُّمُthen you would have spent the night أَيقاظاawake
هَذي النُفوسُ لَبِتُّمُ أَيقاظا
You spent the night asleep amid wealth; but had an end come
To these souls, you would have spent the night awake.
صافَتmissed the mark سِهامُكُمُyour arrows وَقَرطَسَand hit the mark غَيُّكُمyour folly
صافَت سِهامُكُمُ وَقَرطَسَ غَيُّكُم
فَشَتاso it spent the winter بِأَربُعَةِin the dwellings of الصُدورِthe breasts وَقاظاand spent the summer
فَشَتا بِأَربُعَةِ الصُدورِ وَقاظا
Your arrows missed the mark, while your folly struck it;
So it wintered in the dwellings of the breasts, and summered there.
