مِنْfrom ثغرِthe lips مَنْthe one whom أهوىI love ومبسمِهِand his smiling mouth
مِنْ ثغرِ مَنْ أهوى ومبسمِهِ
سرقَstole السحابُthe clouds البرْدَcoolness والبرَداand hail
سرقَ السحابُ البرْدَ والبرَدا
From the lips of the one I love and his smiling mouth,
From the lips of my beloved and her smile
the clouds stole coolness and hail.
The clouds stole the chill and the iciness
كالشمسِlike the sun تدنوdraws near بهجةًin beauty وسناand radiance
كالشمسِ تدنو بهجةً وسنا
ومتىand whenever أردتَyou seek منالَهُto reach it بَعُدit grows distant
ومتى أردتَ منالَهُ بَعُد
Like the sun, it draws near in beauty and radiance,
Like the sun drawing near, joyous and radiant
yet whenever you seek to reach it, it grows distant.
And whenever you wanted her love from afar
Sol 6.1
