وَشَمْسِ لَيْلٍ طَرَقْتُها فبدا

And I visited a sun of night; then there appeared
And a night sun I knocked on
From her a rebuff I had not expected.
It revealed rejections I never expected
تقولُshe says مَنْwho ذاthis فَلَسْتُfor I am not أَعرِفُهُI know him
تقولُ مَنْ ذا فَلَسْتُ أَعرِفُهُ
يأْلفُهُis familiar with him القَلْبُthe heart حَيْثُwhere أَطلبُهُI seek him
يأْلفُهُ القَلْبُ حَيْثُ أَطلبُهُ
She says, “Who is this? For I do not know him.”
It says who's this I do not recognize
The heart is familiar with him where I seek him.
The heart meets it wherever I seek it
