خُفَاتاً وفي أحشائِها النّارُ واللّذْعُ
And a solitary one weeps when her night falls,
A solitary word weeping when its night falls upon it
quietly, with fire and searing pain within her.
Gently, and within it is fire and burning pain
تذوبُshe melts جوىًburning grief إِمّاeither لصدٍّbecause of rejection وهجرةٍand abandonment

وإِمِّا لِبَينٍ ما لِتَشتِيتِهِ جَمْعُ
She melts with burning grief, either from rejection and abandonment,
It melts from yearning, either from estrangement or separation
or from a parting whose sundering admits no reunion.
Or from a separation whose dispersal has no gathering
فلمso did not أرَI see جمراًan ember ذائباًmolten غيرَother than دَمعِهاher tears
فلم أرَ جمراً ذائباً غيرَ دَمعِها
ولاnor جِسمَa body باكٍof a weeper قَبْلَهَاbefore her كلُّهall of it دمْعُtears
ولا جِسمَ باكٍ قَبْلَهَا كلُّه دمْعُ
So I have seen no molten ember but her tears,
So I have seen no melting ember except her tears
nor, before her, a weeper's body that was all tears.
Nor a crying body - all of it is tears before her
