Grant union to a lover exhausted by describing his passion;
The lover persists though love's pain afflicts him,
For his wasting sickness takes the place of his interpreter.
For his eyes translate his passion's every nuance.
كُلَّماwhenever هَمَّhe intended بِالرُقادِto sleep تَصَدَّتcame forward
كُلَّما هَمَّ بِالرُقادِ تَصَدَّت
مُقلَتاهُhis two eyes بِدَمعِهِwith his tears تُرجُمانهhis interpreter
مُقلَتاهُ بِدَمعِهِ تُرجُمانه
Whenever he intends to sleep, forward come
Whenever he tries to sleep, his eyelids rebel,
His two eyes, his interpreter through his tears.
Translating his tears in place of his utterance.
