لَمnot تَرَyou saw مَنwhom نادَمتُI drank with إِلّاكاexcept you
لَم تَرَ مَن نادَمتُ إِلّاكا
لاnot لِسِوىfor anything other than وُدِّكَyour affection ليfor me ذاكاthat
لا لِسِوى وُدِّكَ لي ذاكا
You have seen no drinking companion of mine but yourself.
You saw I chose no drinking-friend save You,
That was for nothing but your affection for me,
Solely because Your love for me was true;
وَلاnor لِحُبّيهاfor my love of her وَلَكِنَّنيbut I
وَلا لِحُبّيها وَلَكِنَّني
أَمسَيتُI have come to be أَرجوكَI hope in you وَأَخشاكاand I fear you
أَمسَيتُ أَرجوكَ وَأَخشاكا
Nor for my love of her; but I
Not for the love of wine, but rather I
Have come to hope in you and fear you.
Have come to hope in You, and fear You too.
Sol 6.1
