في الشَمعِ أَوصافٌ كَوَصفي أَوجَبَت
حُبّيmy love لَهُfor it وَالبُعدَand distance عَنfrom أَضدادِهِits opposites
حُبّي لَهُ وَالبُعدَ عَن أَضدادِهِ
The candle has traits like my own that have inspired
my love for it and my avoidance of its opposites:
جَرَيانُthe flowing أَدمُعِهِof its tears وَصُفرَةُand the yellowness لَونِهof its color
جَرَيانُ أَدمُعِهِ وَصُفرَةُ لَونِه
وَسُهادُand the sleeplessness مُقلَتِهِof its eye وَذَوبُand the melting فُؤادِهِof its heart
وَسُهادُ مُقلَتِهِ وَذَوبُ فُؤادِهِ
the flow of its tears and the yellowness of its hue,
and the sleeplessness of its eye and the melting of its heart.
