O you, toward whom, whenever my secret travels,
O you, when my secret goes towards him
I need not say to you, ‘Guard it.’
I become needless of telling him, protect it

قَد وَفَدَ الصُبحُ فَقُم نَصطَبِح

Dawn has arrived; rise, let us drink our morning draught
Morning has come, so get up we greet it
Of that which I cannot bear to be without.
From the one I have no patience without
فَماؤُناfor our water قَدindeed دَرَّجَتهُhas shaped it into steps الصَباthe east wind
فَماؤُنا قَد دَرَّجَتهُ الصَبا
فَصارَso became شاذَروانَهُits sloping fountain slab مِنهُfrom it
فَصارَ شاذَروانَهُ مِنهُ
For the east wind has rippled our water into steps,
Our water the morning breeze has moved it
So its fountain slab was made of the water itself.
Making its spray from it
