By your life, the dream-vision did not shun my eye
for lack of sleep, when the meeting place lay far away;
وَلَكِنbut زارَنيit visited me مِنfrom غَيرِother than وَعدٍan appointment
وَلَكِن زارَني مِن غَيرِ وَعدٍ

عَلى عَجَلٍ فَلَم يَرَ ما يُزارُ
but it visited me without an appointment,
in haste, and did not see the one it came to visit.
