وَراجَعتُand I consulted نَفسيmyself وَاِعتَرَتنيand seized me صَبابَةٌardent longing
وَراجَعتُ نَفسي وَاِعتَرَتني صَبابَةٌ
وَفاضَتand overflowed دُموعيmy tears عَبرَةًin weeping خَشيَةَfor fear of النَوىseparation
وَفاضَت دُموعي عَبرَةً خَشيَةَ النَوى
And I took counsel with myself, and ardent longing seized me.
And my tears overflowed in weeping, for fear of separation.
وَقُلتُand I said وَكَيفَand how المُنتَهىfulfillment دُونَwithout خُلَّةٍa beloved woman
وَقُلتُ وَكَيفَ المُنتَهى دُونَ خُلَّةٍ
هِيَshe العَيشُlife فيin الدُنياthis world وَهِيَand she مُنتَهَىthe utmost of المُنىdesires
هِيَ العَيشُ في الدُنيا وَهِيَ مُنتَهَى المُنى
And I said: how can there be fulfillment without a beloved
Who is life in this world, and the utmost of all desires?
