هَلdo ...? تَذكُرِينَyou remember إِذِwhen الرِّكابُthe riding camels مُناخَةٌkneeling
هَل تَذكُرِينَ إِذِ الرِّكابُ مُناخَةٌ
بِرِحالِهاwith their saddles لِرَواحِfor the departure of اَهلِthe people of المَوسِمِthe pilgrimage gathering
بِرِحالِها لِرَواحِ اَهلِ المَوسِمِ
Do you remember when the riding camels were kneeling,
Do you remember when the riders reined in their mounts
with their saddles, for the pilgrims’ departure?
At the dwellings of the pilgrims on the day of assembling,
إِذwhen نَحنُwe نَستَرِقُwe secretly exchange الحَدِيثَconversation وَفَوقَناand above us
إِذ نَحنُ نَستَرِقُ الحَدِيثَ وَفَوقَنا
مِثلُlike الظَّلامِdarkness مِنَof الغُبارِthe dust الأَقتَمِdusky
مِثلُ الظَّلامِ مِنَ الغُبارِ الأَقتَمِ
When we secretly exchanged words, and above us
When we would steal glances and above us
hung dusky dust, like darkness;
Was darkness like the gloomiest dust,
وَنَظلُّand we keep نُظهِرُwe reveal بالحَوَاجِبِwith the eyebrows بَينَناbetween us
وَنَظلُّ نُظهِرُ بالحَوَاجِبِ بَينَنا
مافِىwhat is in النُّفُوسِthe souls وَنَحنُwhile we لاnot نَتَكَلَّمُwe speak
مافِى النُّفُوسِ وَنَحنُ لا نَتَكَلَّمُ
and we kept revealing to one another, with our eyebrows,
And we kept appearing with our eyebrows between us
what was in our souls, while we did not speak.
What was in our souls, while we did not speak?
