أهِ مِنْ بُحَّةٍ بِغَيْرِ انْقَطَاعٍ
لِفَتَاةٍof a girl مُوْصُولَةِunbroken الإِيْقَاعِthe rhythm
لِفَتَاةٍ مُوْصُولَةِ الإِيْقَاعِ
Ah, the hoarseness that never ceases
Oh, the sadness of a maiden's sighing
of a girl whose rhythm is unbroken!
Incessantly with rhythmic crying
أَتْعَبَتْshe strained حَلْقَهَاher throat وَقَدْand perhaps يُجْتَنَىis reaped مِنْfrom
أَتْعَبَتْ حَلْقَهَا وَقَدْ يُجْتَنَى مِنْ
تَعَبِstrain الحَلْقِthe throat رَاحَةُcomfort الأَسْماعِthe ears
تَعَبِ الحَلْقِ رَاحَةُ الأَسْماعِ
She has strained her throat, though one may reap from
Straining her throat while they enjoy
the throat's strain a comfort for the ears.
The soothing rest her efforts employ
فَغَدَتْso she began تُكْثِرُincreasing البُحَاحَthe hoarseness وَحَطَّتْand she lowered
فَغَدَتْ تُكْثِرُ البُحَاحَ وَحَطَّتْ
طَبَقَاتِpitches الأَوْتَارِthe strings بَعْدَafter ارْتِفَاعِrising
طَبَقَاتِ الأَوْتَارِ بَعْدَ ارْتِفَاعِ
So she grew ever hoarser and lowered
More frequent are her mournful moans
the strings' pitches after their rise,
As strings are slackened, lowered their tones
كَأَنِيْنِlike the moan of المُحِبِّthe lover خَفَّضَlowered مِنْهُfrom him
كَأَنِيْنِ المُحِبِّ خَفَّضَ مِنْهُ
صَوْتَthe voice of شَكْوَاهُhis lament شِدَّةُthe intensity of الأَوْجَاعِthe pains
صَوْتَ شَكْوَاهُ شِدَّةُ الأَوْجَاعِ
like a lover's moan, brought low—
Like a lover's groans made soft and weak
his voice of lament—by the intensity of pain.
By the intense pain when he can't speak
