أَسْلَفْتُ تَقْبِيلي لسالِفتيهِ
إِذas عَتْبُهhis reproach ليto me شاغِلٌoccupying شفتيْهِhis two lips
إِذ عَتْبُه لي شاغِلٌ شفتيْهِ
I gave my kisses in advance to both sides of his neck,
I promised my kiss to one who reproached me,
As his reproach of me kept his lips occupied.
When his blame occupied my lips.
ويظنand he thinks أَنِّيthat I قدalready رَويتI have drunk my fill منfrom الظماthirst

And he thinks I have quenched my thirst,
He thought I was sated with water,
Yet I am at my thirstiest for him.
Yet I was thirstier than I'd been for him.

وأَكونُ أَحْنى ما أَكونُ عليه
And he thinks me cruel because I embrace him so tightly,
He thought me cruel from my intense embrace,
Yet I am at my most tender toward him.
Yet I was more tender than I'd been with him.
ياoh ليتwould that شِعْريmy knowing للمُصَابِfor the one stricken بِفِعْلِهby his deed
يا ليت شِعْري للمُصَابِ بِفِعْلِه
مَنْwho دَلَّled عَيْنيْهhis two eyes علىto عَيْنيْهِhis two eyes
مَنْ دَلَّ عَيْنيْه على عَيْنيْهِ
Oh, would that I knew, for the one stricken by his deed:
Oh, if only I knew, for the one hurt by his acts,
Who led his eyes to the beloved's eyes?
Who guided his eyes to my eyes!
