إِلّا يَكُ بَينَنا اِقتِرابُ الدارِ

إِلّا يَكُ بَينَنا اِقتِرابُ الدارِ

أَو لَم تَرِدِ الرُواةُ بِالأَخبارِ

أَو لَم تَرِدِ الرُواةُ بِالأَخبارِ

If our dwellings are not close to one another,

Nothing but the nearness of the abode is between us

Or the narrators have not arrived with news,

Or did not the narrators bring the news

فالنَفسُ تُناجيك كَما تعلمهُ

فالنَفسُ تُناجيك كَما تعلمهُ

يَكفيكَ هَوىً تَجاوُبُ الأَسرارِ

يَكفيكَ هَوىً تَجاوُبُ الأَسرارِ

Then the soul communes with you, as you know;

So the soul converses with you as you know

The mutual answering of secrets is love enough for you.

It suffices you a passion for the secrets to respond
