She whom I love gave me willow twigs;
She who I love has caused discord between us
Gently she says, “There is now discord between us.”
Gently she says there is discord between us now
لاmay … not أَطلعَbring forth كالخِلافlike the willow نَوريmy blossom ثَمَراًfruit
لا أَطلعَ كالخِلاف نَوري ثَمَراً
ماas long as أورقتِput forth leaves الغُصونُthe branches إِنif كانَthere is خِلافdiscord
ما أورقتِ الغُصونُ إِن كانَ خِلاف
May my blossom, like the willow, bear no fruit,
No fruits ripen in the light of our discord
As long as branches put forth leaves, if there is discord.
The branches did not leaf if there was discord
