مودةٌaffection لكfor you لمdid not أظفرI attain بزينتهاwith its beauty
مودةٌ لك لم أظفر بزينتها
تقطّعwas torn apart القلبthe heart فيin آثارهاits traces قطعاinto pieces
تقطّع القلب في آثارها قطعا
A love for you whose beauty I have not attained;
Affection for you though I could not attain its beauty
The heart was torn to pieces following its traces.
Severed my heart into pieces in its pursuit
وزادنيand increased my كلفاًpassion فيin الحبlove أنthat منعتwas denied
وزادني كلفاً في الحب أن منعت
أحبّdearest شيءthing إلىto الإنسانa person ماwhat مُنعاwas denied
أحبّ شيء إلى الإنسان ما مُنعا
And being denied it increased my passion in love:
And caused me more anguish in love that you denied
The dearest thing to a person is what is denied.
The dearest thing to man is what is forbidden
