إذا زار الحبيب أثار شوقاً

تفتت من حرارته العظام
When the beloved visits, he stirs a longing
When the beloved visits, he stirs up longing
Whose heat makes the bones crumble.
That melts my bones with its heat

تدين بسكر شاربها المدام
And with his eyes he slakes my thirst with wine,
And intoxicates me with his eyes continuously
To whose drinker's intoxication wine itself bows.
The wine is indebted to the drinker of wine
فوصلٌthus union يكسبbrings المشتاقthe yearning one سقماًillness
فوصلٌ يكسب المشتاق سقماً
ونأيٌand separation لاnot يقومstands firm لهagainst it قوامbodily constitution

Thus union brings the yearning lover illness,
So union makes the longing one ill
And no constitution can withstand separation.
And separation cannot be endured
فهلthen, does ...? يصلreach السقيمthe ailing one إلىto شفاءٍhealing
فهل يصل السقيم إلى شفاءٍ

Can the ailing, then, attain a cure,
Can the ill reach a cure
When the remedy is the illness itself?
If the cure itself is the illness
