God knows you did not become feverish from an ailment
God knows for what cause you grew hot,
that arose from food and drink.
Though from eating and drinking naught came to pass.
لَكِنَّbut نَفسَكَyour soul إِذwhen رَأَتit saw لَكَfor you صاحِباًa companion
لَكِنَّ نَفسَكَ إِذ رَأَت لَكَ صاحِباً

But your soul, when it saw you had a companion
But your soul, when it saw you had a boon-companion
who had become flawed, though he was very close to you,
Who was finding fault, though kin and very near,
فَكَأَنَّهاso it was as though it أَنفَتrecoiled in disdain لِذاكَat that فَنالَهاso it befell it
فَكَأَنَّها أَنفَت لِذاكَ فَنالَها
أَلَمُpain الكَريمِthe noble man لِصُحبَةِat keeping company with المَعيوبِthe flawed person
أَلَمُ الكَريمِ لِصُحبَةِ المَعيوبِ
seemed to recoil in disdain at that, and so was struck by
Felt as though it loathed him and recoiled on you
the noble man's pain at keeping company with the flawed.
The noble one's pain at consorting with the censured.
Sol 6.1
