إذا سكن الليل البهيم تثور
My body sees in you passion and anguish,
My body sees in you passion and anguish
When the pitch-dark night grows still, it surges.
When the beastly night settles down in tumult

فلولا أنيني ما اهتدى نحو مضجعي

خيالكم بالليل حين يزور
So, were it not for my moaning, it would not find its way toward my bed—
If it weren't for my moaning leading me to my bed
Your phantom, when it visits at night.
Your images would visit me at night
ولوand if شئتI wished فيin طيthe folds of الكتابthe letter لزرتكمI would have visited you
ولو شئت في طي الكتاب لزرتكم
ولمand did not تدرknow عنيof me أحرفletters وسطورand lines
ولم تدر عني أحرف وسطور
And had I wished, I would have visited you within the folds of the letter,
If I wanted, I could visit you between the folds of a letter
And letters and lines would not have known of me.
And you wouldn't know of letters and lines about me
