1. Your tongue is a sword that leaves no trace
You are like glass that leaves nothing, not even a speck
١. لِسانُكَ السَّيفُ لا يَخفى له أثَرُ
وأنتَ كالصِّلِّ لا تُبقي ولا تَذَرُ
2. My secrets are with you like the secrets of a glass
Its clarity and murkiness are plain for the eye to see
٢. سِرِّي لديكَ كأسرارِ الزُّجاجةِ لا
يَخفى على العَينِ منها الصَّفوُ والكَدَرُ
3. So beware of shattering poetry that cannot be mended
For glass, once shattered, can never be repaired
٣. فاحذَرْ من الشِّعرِ كَسْراً لا انْجِبَارَ له
فللزُّجاجَةِ كَسْرٌ ليسَ يَنجَبِرُ
