ياO رائِشُgo-between لاdo not تَكُنbe علىagainst العُشَّاقِthe lovers
يا رائِشُ لا تَكُن على العُشَّاقِ
عَوناًa helper وارحمand have mercy تَوَلُّهَthe lovesick bewilderment الُمشتَاقِof the yearning one
عَوناً وارحم تَوَلُّهَ الُمشتَاقِ
O go-between, do not stand against lovers
O calm breeze, do not aid the lovers,
as a helper; pity the yearning lover’s lovesick bewilderment.
And pity the longing of the ardent.
جُدbe generous بالرِّشاءِwith the rope الذيwhich دُجىًin darkness سَرَيتyou journeyed by night بِهِwith it
جُد بالرِّشاءِ الذي دُجىً سَرَيت بِهِ
لاmay ... not ذُقتَyou taste كَذاlike this مَرارَةَthe bitterness الأَشواقِof longings
لا ذُقتَ كَذا مَرارَةَ الأَشواقِ
Be generous with the rope with which you journeyed through darkness;
Exert with the gentle sprinkling you have spread in the dark,
may you never taste such bitterness of longing.
You have not tasted thus the bitterness of longing.
