A rainless flash of my satire will come to you,
Lightning flashes from my love will come to you,
If you possess a rainless flash of affection.
If you have flashes of affection gentled.
وَأُنشِدُand I recite إِذwhen صَبَّحتَyou came in the morning تَغلبُyou overpower قُدرَتيmy strength
وَأُنشِدُ إِذ صَبَّحتَ تَغلبُ قُدرَتي
بِعَجزِكَwith your weakness لَمdid not يَغلُبكَovercome you مِثلُthe like of مغلَّبِone often defeated
بِعَجزِكَ لَم يَغلُبكَ مِثلُ مغلَّبِ
And I recite, as you come in the morning to overpower my strength,
And I recite when you have overcome at dawn
With your weakness: “None has bested you like one often defeated.”
With your incapacity - none like you has overcome the vanquished.
