My love for her has kept whittling away my body's bones,
Still that huge body of his swells with love for her,
and thinning them until they grew too slight to shrink further.
Yet he diminishes her so she shrinks away from loss.

أَمِنْتُ عَلَيْهَا أَنْ يَرَى أَهْلَهَا شَخْصِي
For I have melted away so much that, if I visit her,
So I have melted till when I visit her I fear
I fear no danger to her from her family seeing my form.
Lest her family see even a glimpse of my person.
