وقفتُI stood علىby الرُّبوعِthe dwellings وليand I had حنينٌlonging
وقفتُ على الرُّبوعِ ولي حنينٌ
لساكنهنَّfor their inhabitant ليسnot إلىfor الربوعِthe dwellings
لساكنهنَّ ليس إلى الربوعِ
I stood by the dwellings, filled with longing,
for their inhabitant, not for the dwellings.
ولوand if أنيthat I حننتُI yearned إلىfor مغانيabodes
ولو أني حننتُ إلى مغاني
أحبَّائيmy loved ones حننتُI yearned إلىfor الضلوعِthe ribs
أحبَّائي حننتُ إلى الضلوعِ
And were I to yearn for the abodes of
my loved ones, I would yearn for my ribs.
Sol 6.1
