بِروحي عِذارُ الحِبِّ دارَ بِوَجهِهِ
فَخِلتُso I thought ظَلامَdarkness اللّيلِof the night قَدalready دارَcircled بالضحِّaround the sunlight
فَخِلتُ ظَلامَ اللّيلِ قَد دارَ بالضحِّ
My soul be ransom for the beloved’s cheek-down encircling his face;
So I thought night’s darkness had encircled the sunlight.
فَقَدfor indeed قامَstood بَينَbetween الوجهِthe face وَالجيدِand the neck حاجزاًas a barrier
فَقَد قامَ بَينَ الوجهِ وَالجيدِ حاجزاً
لِيَفرقto separate بَينَbetween الشّمسِthe sun ياO صاحِfriend والصبحِand the dawn
لِيَفرق بَينَ الشّمسِ يا صاحِ والصبحِ
For it stood as a barrier between his face and neck,
To separate, O friend, the sun from the dawn.
