My sight did not drink its fill of the water of his face,
Since I've become wary in his kingdom,
Nor did my gaze pluck the rose of his cheek.
My eyes haven't seen the water of his face,
ولاnor تمتعتُI took pleasure منin محاسنهhis charms
ولا تمتعتُ من محاسنه

مُذ صِرتُ في مُلكِه من الحذَرِ
Nor did I delight in his charms
Nor have they picked the rose of his cheek,
Since I came under his sway, out of fear.
Nor have I enjoyed his beauty.

He who shone before the sun as it rose, like
Who would rush towards the rising sun?
The sun among the stars and the moon.
The sun is not like the stars and the moon.
فارقتُI parted from حُسنَbeauty الدنياthe world وبهجتهاand its splendor
فارقتُ حُسنَ الدنيا وبهجتها
ساعةَthe moment فارقتُI parted from أحسنَthe fairest of البشرِhumankind
ساعةَ فارقتُ أحسنَ البشرِ
I parted from the world's beauty and its splendor
I abandoned the beauty and joy of life
The moment I parted from the fairest of humankind.
When I left the best of mankind.
