في سَطحِ أَزهَرَ قَد أَبلاهُ ذِكراكِ
Indeed, the youth who gave you his ring
The boy who gave you his ring
on Azhar's rooftop has been worn away by the memory of you.
On the roof of blooming flowers has made it a memento of you

يُمسي وَيُصبِحُ صَبّاً لَيسَ يَنساكِ
He has remained lovesick in your absence, ever since you left him.
Since you left him, he still sheds tears
Evening and morning he is lovestruck; he does not forget you.
Waking and sleeping, crying for you ceaselessly
أَمسىhe has become لِأَهلِكِto your family جاراًa neighbor ماnot عَلِمتِyou knew بِهِof him
أَمسى لِأَهلِكِ جاراً ما عَلِمتِ بِهِ

لَو تَطلُبينَ إِلَيهِ النَفسَ أَعطاكِ
He has become your family's neighbor, though you do not know of him.
He has become a neighbor to your family without your knowing
If you asked him for his life, he would give it to you.
If you asked him for his soul, he would give it to you

Do you recognize the signs I have described
It is you I mean by my allusions—you.
I mean you, with what I have presented to you
