أرى ريقها ماء الحياة تَيقُّناً

أرى ريقها ماء الحياة تَيقُّناً

على أنها لم تبق لي في الهوى حشا

على أنها لم تبق لي في الهوى حشا

I regard her saliva as the water of life, beyond doubt,

I see her saliva is the water of life, certainty

I know with absolute certainty that the nectar of her lips is the water of life,

though, in love, she has left me no heart.

That she no longer has any place in my love's enclosure

Even though in passion she has left me with no heart within my chest.
