لَوَif أَنَّthat اِمرَأًa man أَخفىconcealed الهَوىlove عَنfrom ضَميرِهِhis heart
لَوَ أَنَّ اِمرَأً أَخفى الهَوى عَن ضَميرِهِ
لَمُتُّI would have died وَلَمand not يَعلَمknow بِذاكَof that ضَميرُa heart
لَمُتُّ وَلَم يَعلَم بِذاكَ ضَميرُ
If a man could hide love from his own heart,
I would have died, and no heart would have known of it.
وَلَكِنbut سَأَلقىI shall meet اللَهَGod وَالنَفسُand the soul لَمdid not تَبُحdivulge
وَلَكِن سَأَلقى اللَهَ وَالنَفسُ لَم تَبُح
بِسِرِّكِof your secret وَالمُستَخبِرونَand the inquirers كَثيرُmany
بِسِرِّكِ وَالمُستَخبِرونَ كَثيرُ
But I shall meet God, my soul having never revealed
your secret, though many seek to know.
