قَدindeed غَربتhas set شَمسُthe sun of البَهاsplendor والحلاand beauty

تَحتَbeneath عِذارِthe cheek-down of الأهيَفِthe slender-waisted one الأشنَبِthe bright-toothed one
تَحتَ عِذارِ الأهيَفِ الأشنَبِ
The sun of splendor and beauty has set
The sun of beauty has set under the excuses of the slender, curved night
Beneath the cheek-down of the slender-waisted, bright-toothed beloved.
And from its excuses it has clearly dawned
وَمنand from عِذارهِhis cheek-down لَقَدindeed أَسفَرتit has shone forth
وَمن عِذارهِ لَقَد أَسفَرت
كَأَنَّهاas though it لاno شَكَّdoubt لمdid not تغرُبِset
كَأَنَّها لا شَكَّ لم تغرُبِ
And from his cheek-down it has shone forth,
As if, no doubt, it had not set
As though, beyond doubt, it had never set.
I have no repentance from my love
وَعَنand from هَواهُlove of him لَيسَthere is not ليfor me تَوبَةٌrepentance
وَعَن هَواهُ لَيسَ لي تَوبَةٌ
وَعَنand from هَواهُlove of him لَستُI am not بِالتّائِبِat all repentant
وَعَن هَواهُ لَستُ بِالتّائِبِ
And there is no repenting of my love for him;
I am not one who repents of his love
And I am not one to repent of loving him.
Does repentance benefit the people of passion

أَتَنفع التّوبةُ أَهلَ الهَوى
وَالشَّمسُand the sun قَدalready بَدَتhas appeared مِنَfrom المَغرِبِthe west
وَالشَّمسُ قَد بَدَت مِنَ المَغرِبِ
Can repentance avail those in love
When the sun has risen from the west?
When the sun has already risen in the west?
