لَيتَif only حَظيmy share كَلَحظَةِlike a glance العَينِof the eye مِنهاfrom her
لَيتَ حَظي كَلَحظَةِ العَينِ مِنها
وَكَثيرٌand much مِنهاfrom her القَليلُthe little المُهَنّاsweetly enjoyed
وَكَثيرٌ مِنها القَليلُ المُهَنّا
Would that my share of her were but a glance from her eye—
If only my share of her were but an eye’s glance;
yet even a little of her, peacefully enjoyed, is much.
And a little from her, sweetly enjoyed, is much.
Sol 6.1
