إِن قُلتُ زالَ مَعَ التَقَرُّبِ عادا
My longing for you, though the dwellings are near—
If I say it has faded with drawing closer, it returns.
دَنَتِhave drawn near الدِيارُthe dwellings بِكُمwith you وَعَزَّand became difficult مَزارُكُمvisiting you
دَنَتِ الدِيارُ بِكُم وَعَزَّ مَزارُكُم

حَتّى تَوَهَّمتُ الدُنُوِّ بُعادا
The dwellings have drawn near with you in them, yet visiting you is hard,
Until I imagine nearness to be distance.
