ماhow أعجلَswift ماthat وكَّلتُمُyou consigned بالسَّهرِto sleeplessness
ما أعجلَ ما وكَّلتُمُ بالسَّهرِ
جفنيmy eyelid وحجَبتُمُand you veiled عنfrom سِواكمُanyone but you نظَريmy gaze
جفني وحجَبتُمُ عن سِواكمُ نظَري
How swiftly you have consigned to sleeplessness
How quickly you tasked my eyes with vigil
my eyelid, and veiled my gaze from all but you!
And veiled them from seeing other than you
ماnot أناI مَجنونٌmad بعشقيin my love لكُمُfor you
ما أنا مَجنونٌ بعشقي لكُمُ
أوor rather أنَّكمthat you are أحسنُthe fairest هذاthis البشرِhumankind
أو أنَّكم أحسنُ هذا البشرِ
I am not mad in my love for you—
I'm not madly in love with you all
or rather, you are the fairest of these mortals.
Nor are you the best of mankind
