قُلتُ له وَالدَمعُ في وَجنتي
مِنfrom لَوعةِburning anguish الأَشجانِsorrows مَدفوقُpoured forth
مِن لَوعةِ الأَشجانِ مَدفوقُ
I said to him, as tears upon my cheek
I said to him, while tears flowed down my cheeks
Poured forth from the burning anguish of sorrow:
Poured out from the burning of passions
لَيسَthere is no كمثليlike me فيamong الوَرىhumankind عاشقٌlover
لَيسَ كمثلي في الوَرى عاشقٌ
قالَhe said ولاnor مثليَlike me مَعشوقُbeloved
قالَ ولا مثليَ مَعشوقُ
“No lover among humankind is like me.”
There is no lover in the world like me
He said, “Nor is any beloved like me.”
He said, nor is there a beloved like me
