عَبَرتُ عَلى دارِ الصَلاحِ وَقَد خَلَت
مِنَof القَمَرِthe moon الوَضّاحِradiant وَالمَنهِلِand the wellspring العَذبِsweet
مِنَ القَمَرِ الوَضّاحِ وَالمَنهِلِ العَذبِ
I passed by Salah's house, and it stood empty
Of the radiant moon and the sweet wellspring.
فَوَاللَهِso, by God لَولاbut for سُرعَةٌswiftness مِثلُlike عَزمِهِhis resolve
فَوَاللَهِ لَولا سُرعَةٌ مِثلُ عَزمِهِ
لَغَرَّقَهاwould surely have drowned it طَرفيmy eye وَأَحرَقَهاand would have burned it قَلبيmy heart
لَغَرَّقَها طَرفي وَأَحرَقَها قَلبي
So, by God, but for a swiftness like his resolve,
My eye would have drowned it, and my heart set it ablaze.
