أضدَّانِ في جسدٍ واحدٍ

أضدَّانِ في جسدٍ واحدٍ

مقيمان قد جعلاه قَرارا

مقيمان قد جعلاه قَرارا

Two opposites in a single body,

Two opposites in one body residing,

Both dwelling there, having made it their abode:

Making of it their permanent abiding.

دموعٌ من العين فياّضةٌ

دموعٌ من العين فياّضةٌ

ووَقدٌ من القلب يَرمِى شَرارا

ووَقدٌ من القلب يَرمِى شَرارا

Tears overflowing from the eye,

Tears from the eyes profusely outpouring,

And a blaze from the heart casting sparks.

While in the heart flames are upflaring.

كأنِّى من السُّحُبِ الساريا

كأنِّى من السُّحُبِ الساريا

ت يَحمِلنَ فيهنَّ ماءً ونارا

ت يَحمِلنَ فيهنَّ ماءً ونارا

As though I were one of the clouds that travel by night,

As if I were clouds in motion ever,

Carrying within them water and fire.

Bearing in them water and fire together.
