أغار عليك من إدراك طرفي

أغار عليك من إدراك طرفي

وأشفق أن يذيبك لمس كفي

وأشفق أن يذيبك لمس كفي

I am jealous over you even of my own gaze,

I am jealous that my glance comprehends you,

I am jealous of you even from the gaze of my own eyes,

And fear that my palm's touch might melt you.

And I fear that the touch of my hand will melt you away.

And I fear that the touch of my hand might melt you away,

فأمتنع اللقاء حذار هذا

فأمتنع اللقاء حذار هذا

وأعتمد التلاقي حين أغفي

وأعتمد التلاقي حين أغفي

So I avoid meeting you for fear of this,

So I abstain from meeting you, wary of this,

So I refrain from meeting you out of dread of this,

And choose to meet you when I doze.

And I depend on encountering you when I sleep.

And rely on our rendezvous only when I drift to sleep,

فروحي ان أنم بك ذو انفراد

فروحي ان أنم بك ذو انفراد

من الأعضاء مستتر ومخفي

من الأعضاء مستتر ومخفي

For if I sleep, my soul is alone with you,

For my spirit, if I sleep with you in seclusion

For when I slumber, my soul is secluded in communion with you,

Apart from the limbs, hidden and concealed.

From the limbs, is concealed and hidden.

Concealed and hidden away from bodily limbs,

ووصل الروح ألطف فيك وقعاً

ووصل الروح ألطف فيك وقعاً

من الجسم المواصل الف ضعف

من الجسم المواصل الف ضعف

And the soul's union touches you more gently

And the joining of the spirit has a gentler impact on you

And the union of souls leaves a gentler imprint upon you

Than the body's union, a thousandfold.

Than the joining of the body, a thousand times weaker.

Than the union of bodies a thousand times over.
