أَسِحرٌO Sihr ظَلَمتِyou wronged النَفسthe soul وَاِخترتِand you chose فُرقَتيparting from me
أَسِحرٌ ظَلَمتِ النَفس وَاِخترتِ فُرقَتي
فَجَمَّعتِso you gathered أَحزانيmy sorrows وَهُنَّwhile they شَوارِدُscattered
فَجَمَّعتِ أَحزاني وَهُنَّ شَوارِدُ
O Sihr, you wronged my soul and chose to part from me,
So you gathered my sorrows, which had been scattered.
وَكانَتand were شُجونيmy griefs بِاقتِرابِكِwith your nearness نُزّحاًfar away
وَكانَت شُجوني بِاقتِرابِكِ نُزّحاً
فَهاso here هُنّthey لَمّاwhen انthat (emphatic particle) نأيتyou went away شَواهِدُpresent
فَها هُنّ لَمّا ان نأيت شَواهِدُ
And my griefs had been far away when you were near,
But here they are, present now that you have gone away.
فانso if تَستَلَذّيyou savor بَردَcoolness of مائِكِyour water بَعدَناafter us
فان تَستَلَذّي بَردَ مائِكِ بَعدَنا
فَبَعدَكِthen since you left ماnot نَدريwe know مَتىwhen الماءُthe water بارِدُcool
فَبَعدَكِ ما نَدري مَتى الماءُ بارِدُ
So if you savor your water’s coolness after our parting,
Since you left, we know not when water is cool.
