دُمُوعِي أَبَتْ إِلاَّ انْسِكَاباً لَعَلَّهَا
بِمَكْنُونِto the secret of حُبِّيmy love عِنْدَbefore حِبِّيَmy beloved تَشْهَدُbear witness
بِمَكْنُونِ حُبِّي عِنْدَ حِبِّيَ تَشْهَدُ
My tears refused all but pouring forth; perhaps they
will bear witness before my beloved to my hidden love.
دَنَوْتُI drew near فَأَقْصَانِيthen he drove me away فَعْدْتُthen I returned فَرَدَّنِيthen he turned me back
دَنَوْتُ فَأَقْصَانِي فَعْدْتُ فَرَدَّنِي
فَلاَso neither هُوَhe يُدْنِينِيdraws me near وَلاَnor أَنَاI أَبْعُدُgo far away
فَلاَ هُوَ يُدْنِينِي وَلاَ أَنَا أَبْعُدُ
I drew near, and he drove me away; I returned, and he turned me back.
So he does not draw me near, nor do I go away.
دُهِيتُI was stricken بِفُقْدانٍby loss لِمَنْof one whom قَدْalready وَجَدْتُهُI had found him
دُهِيتُ بِفُقْدانٍ لِمَنْ قَدْ وَجَدْتُهُ
فَلاَso no مَدْمَعٌflow of tears يَرْقَاceases flowing وَلاَnor وَجْدُlove's anguish يُحْمَدُis praised
فَلاَ مَدْمَعٌ يَرْقَا وَلاَ وَجْدُ يُحْمَدُ
I was stricken by the loss of one I had found.
So no flow of tears abates, nor is love's anguish praised.
