وَمُهَفهَفٍ يَجرِي بِصَفحَةِ خَدِّهِ
وَلَماهُand his dusky lips مِنof ماءِwater الحَياةِlife عُبابُهُits surging tide
وَلَماهُ مِن ماءِ الحَياةِ عُبابُهُ
And a slender youth—there flows across his cheek
With cheeks softly blowing like meadows in the wind
and his dusky lips the surging tide of the water of life.
And the water of life flowing from his lips
مازالَkept on يَهتِكُrending بِاللِّحاظِwith glances قُلُوبَناour hearts
مازالَ يَهتِكُ بِاللِّحاظِ قُلُوبَنا
حَتّىuntil تَضَرَّجَbecame stained crimson طَرفُهُhis eye وَثِيابُهُand his garments
حَتّى تَضَرَّجَ طَرفُهُ وَثِيابُهُ
He kept rending our hearts with glances,
He continues to steal our hearts from their sheaths
until his eye and his garments were stained crimson.
Until his eyes overflow and his garment is drenched
فَغَداso he became بِحُمرَةِwith the redness of ذاthis وَحُمرَةِand the redness of هذِهِthese
فَغَدا بِحُمرَةِ ذا وَحُمرَةِ هذِهِ
كَالسَّيفِlike a sword يَدمَىbleeds حَدُّهُits edge وَقِرابُهُand its sheath
كَالسَّيفِ يَدمَى حَدُّهُ وَقِرابُهُ
So, with the redness of the one and the redness of the other, he became
So it was that his cheek took on the redness of this one
like a sword whose edge and sheath bleed.
And the redness of that one, like a sword bloodied at its edge and scabbard
