حَيْثُwhere المَغَانيthe dwellings حَبِيبٌa beloved زَادَنيincreased for me شَجَنَاsorrow
حَيْثُ المَغَاني حَبِيبٌ زَادَني شَجَنَا

إِنْ حَلَّ دارَ الهَوَى دَارَى وإنْ سَكَنَا
Where the dwellings stand, a beloved has deepened my sorrow.
Where the singers are, a beloved has increased my longing
If he alights in love's abode, he dissembles, even if he settles there.
Whether the abode of passion becomes my abode or we settle
واللَّهand by God ماnot قَرَّrested قَلْبِيmy heart بَعْدَafter فُرْقَتِهِparting from him
واللَّه ما قَرَّ قَلْبِي بَعْدَ فُرْقَتِهِ

شَوْقاً لِرُؤْيَتهِ حِيناً ولا سَكَنَا
And by God, my heart has not rested since parting from him,
By Allah, my heart has not settled after his separation
In longing to see him—not for a moment—nor has it grown still.
Yearning to see him for a moment or be calmed
وَاهاًah! لَهُfor him سَكَناًas a solace لَوْif only أذْهَبَتdispelled أَرَقِيmy sleeplessness
وَاهاً لَهُ سَكَناً لَوْ أذْهَبَت أَرَقِي
أوْor سَكَّنَتْcalmed قَلَقِيmy unrest وَاهاًah! لَهُfor him سَكَناas a solace
أوْ سَكَّنَتْ قَلَقِي وَاهاً لَهُ سَكَنا
Ah, for him as a solace—if only it could dispel my sleeplessness,
Woe to him for calming me, if my insomnia had gone
Or calm my unrest—ah, for him as a solace!
Or stilled my restlessness, woe to him for calming me
Sol 6.1
