Where is sleep? One enslaved by love will never sleep,
Where is sleep when the lovesick
while sighs blaze between his ribs.
Keeps sighing flames within his ribs?

The beloved has slept; may the taste of his slumber delight him
The beloved has slept here, never knowing

The taste of slumber, eyes wide with pining
فلقدfor indeed تمكنgained mastery منover محبٍّa lover لمdid not ينَلobtain
فلقد تمكن من محبٍّ لم ينَل
إلاexcept ملالتَهُhis boredom وسوءَand the badness صنيعِهِof his treatment
إلا ملالتَهُ وسوءَ صنيعِهِ
For he has gained mastery over a lover who has received nothing
So he has gained a lover who got nothing
but his boredom and his ill treatment.
But grief and cruel treatment for his love
