For if I had, each day and night,
If for every day and night I had
eighty seas of gushing tears,
Eighty seas of flowing tears,

وهذاand this قليلlittle للفتىfor the young man حينwhen يعشقhe loves passionately
وهذا قليل للفتى حين يعشق
I would drain them dry, then begin with others;
I would spend them until I began with others,
and this is little for a young man when he loves.
And this is little for a young man when he falls in love.

أهيم به حتى المماتِ لِشقوتي
وحوليand around me منof الحُبِّlove المُبَرِّحِagonizing خندقa trench
وحولي من الحُبِّ المُبَرِّحِ خندق
To my misfortune, I am mad with love for him until death;
I wander with it until death, due to my misery,
and around me lies a trench of agonizing love.
And around me is a trench of joyful love.
وفوقيand above me سَحابٌclouds تُمطرrain down الشوقlonging والهوىand passion
وفوقي سَحابٌ تُمطر الشوق والهوى

وتحتي عيون للهوى تتدفق
And above me, clouds rain down longing and passion;
And above me a cloud that rains longing and passion,
and beneath me, springs of passion gush forth.
And beneath me eyes flowing with love.
