قَد بَراني وَسَلَّ جِسمي اِشتِياقي

غابَis absent عَنّيfrom me مَنthe one whom لاnot أُسَمّيهِI name him خَوفاًout of fear
غابَ عَنّي مَن لا أُسَمّيهِ خَوفاً
فَفُؤاديso my heart مُعَلَّقٌsuspended بِالتَراقيat the collarbones
فَفُؤادي مُعَلَّقٌ بِالتَراقي
He whom I do not name out of fear is absent from me.
The one I dare not name is gone
So my heart hangs at my collarbones.
While my heart hangs on the hope of reunion
