What I endure when you are present is before your eyes,
In your eyes I find no solace when you are present,
and if you are absent, the world is a prison to me.
And when you are absent, the world imprisons me.

ففيم أرى نفسي لقىً بفنائكم
ولاand no منone who يدانينيdraws close to me لديكمamong you مؤانسa companion

Why, then, do I see myself as a castoff in your courtyard,
So why do I see myself thrown into your courtyard,
with no companion among you who draws close to me?
With no intimate companion among you to console me?

Do you shut me out because I said you envy whoever seeks
Do you shun me because I profess passionate love for you,
my love, and whomever I cherish and befriend?
And shelter him, and befriend him?

Yes, whoever seeks your love is envied
Is it because he who loves you is envied
because of you; and whoever loves the same beloved is a rival.
By you, and he who adores you has rivals?

If I do not vie for your love and feel no jealousy
If I do not compete for your love or vie
over you, then for whom, I wonder, should I vie?
With you, then whom, I wonder, should I rival?

فلا تحتقر نفسي وأنت حبيبها

So do not scorn my soul, since you are its beloved;
So do not scorn my soul, for you are its beloved,
for every person longs for one akin to him.
Since every person yearns for one who is of their kind.
Sol 6.1
