قَدindeed كانَwas ماwhat كُلِّفتُهُI was burdened with it زَمَناًfor a time
قَد كانَ ما كُلِّفتُهُ زَمَناً
ياO طَلُّṬall مِنof وَجدٍlonging بِكُمfor you يَكفيis enough
يا طَلُّ مِن وَجدٍ بِكُم يَكفي
For a time, what I was made to bear—
What I was charged with for some time
the longing for you, O Ṭall—had been enough,
O yearning that comes from passion is enough
حَتّىuntil أَتَيتُكَI came to you زائِراًas a visitor عَجِلاًin haste
حَتّى أَتَيتُكَ زائِراً عَجِلاً
أَمشيI walk عَلىupon حَتفٍdeath إِلىtoward حَتفِdeath
أَمشي عَلى حَتفٍ إِلى حَتفِ
until I came to you, a visitor in haste,
Until I came to you hastily visiting
walking upon death toward death.
Walking on the brink to the brink
