ياO مُثكِليdepriving me of طيبَsweetness of الكَرىslumber وَمُنَغِّصيand vexing me
يا مُثكِلي طيبَ الكَرى وَمُنَغِّصي
O thief of rays from the high-morning sun,
O stealer of radiance from the midmorning sun,
O you who rob me of sweet slumber and vex me,
O you who rob me of sweet slumber and vex me,
أَمّاas for ضِياءُradiance of الشَمسِthe sun فيكَin you فَناقِصٌthen it is deficient
أَمّا ضِياءُ الشَمسِ فيكَ فَناقِصٌ
وَأَرىand I see حَرارَتَهاits heat بِهاin it لَمdid not تَنقُصِdiminish
وَأَرى حَرارَتَها بِها لَم تَنقُصِ
As for the sun’s radiance in you, it is diminished;
As for the sun's radiance in you, it falls short;
yet I see its heat has not thereby diminished.
Yet I see that its heat within it has not diminished.

Comparison has won nothing of worth from you—
The comparison has gained nothing from you:
flayed and white-blotched, like a leper’s skin.
You are peeling and white-blotched, like a leper's complexion.
