And when you made me swear that I would not taste it—
Since you swore to me that I would not taste it,
Though one like me was not fortunate in taking oaths—
And there was no one like me who swore an oath,
حلفتI swore فأرسلتso I let flow الدموعthe tears فخضبتand so were dyed
حلفت فأرسلت الدموع فخضبت
شمالa left hand بقانيwith the deep crimson of أدمعيmy tears ويمينand a right hand
شمال بقاني أدمعي ويمين
I swore and let my tears flow, and they dyed
I swore and let the tears flow, so they dyed
My left hand and my right with the crimson of my tears.
My left hand and my right hand with my tears.
وقلتand I said خذواtake, all of you منيfrom me يميناan oath غليظةsolemn
وقلت خذوا مني يمينا غليظة
فليسfor there is no لمخضوبfor one with dyed البنانfingertips يمينoath
فليس لمخضوب البنان يمين
And I said, “Take from me a solemn oath,
And I said: "Take from me a solemn oath,
For one with dyed fingertips has no oath.”
For one whose fingers are stained has no oath."
