1. You were, and we were, and time was favorable
Then you became, and we became, yet time turned unfavorable
١. وَكُنتَ وَكُنّا وَالزَمانُ مُساعِدٌ
فَصِرتَ وَصِرنا وَهوَ غَيرُ مُساعِدِ
2. A rival jostled me for a sip from your lips
While my soul refuses to share you with others
٢. وَزاحَمَني في وِردِ ريقِكَ شارِبٌ
وَنَفسِيَ تَأبى شِركَها في المَوارِدِ
