Lines explained

“حبك في دمي شريان”

Hubbak fi dammi sheryan

“والبعد طوّل يا فلان”

Wal-bu'd tawwal ya fulan

And the distance has prolonged, oh so-and-so

The phrase 'ya fulan' (oh so-and-so) is a common way to address someone generally or when their name is withheld, adding a touch of intimacy and slight exasperation to the plea.

“العتب من المحبة يا زين”

Al-'atab min al-mahabbah ya zain
