ياO مَنْwho لكثيبٍfor a sand dune ذابَmelted وجداًwith longing بِرَشاfor a young gazelle
يا مَنْ لكثيبٍ ذابَ وجداً بِرَشا
لوif فازَgained بنظرةٍa glance إليهِat him انتعشاrevived
لو فازَ بنظرةٍ إليهِ انتعشا
O, who will help a sand dune melted with longing for a young gazelle?
O one whose ardor for a hill melted with yearning
If it gained a glance at him, it would revive.
Were he to gain a glance at it he'd be refreshed
هَيهاتِfar from possible يَنَالُattains راحةًrelief منهُfrom him شجٍa grieving soul
هَيهاتِ يَنَالُ راحةً منهُ شجٍ
ماnot زالَceased مُعَثراًmade to stumble بهِby him مُذْsince نَشَاhe came into being
ما زالَ مُعَثراً بهِ مُذْ نَشَا
A grieving soul is far from finding relief from him:
Alas! No rest will come to one so lovesick
He has never ceased being made to stumble by him since he came into being.
Who stumbles still though matured when young
