And I hold my soul back from you, though my soul is lovesick
I withhold my soul from you though it yearns
at the thought of you, and the way to you is short,
To be with you, and the path to you is near,
مخافَةَfor fear أَنْthat يَسْعىgo about الوُشاةُthe tale-bearers بِظِّنَّةِwith suspicion
مخافَةَ أَنْ يَسْعى الوُشاةُ بِظِّنَّةِ
وأَحْرسُكُمْand I guard you all أنlest يستريبَgrow suspicious مُريبُa doubter
وأَحْرسُكُمْ أن يستريبَ مُريبُ
for fear that tale-bearers might spread suspicion,
Fearing the gossip of spies spreading rumors -
and I guard you all lest a doubter grow suspicious.
I protect you lest any doubter interferes.
