1. You have an imagination in your eyelids, ever dramatized,
And a memory in your heart, ever entrusted.
١. لكُم خيالٌ فى الجفون مُمَثَّلُ
أبداً وذكرٌ بالفؤاد مُوَكَّلُ
2. And to your home we yearn, youthful,
Spilling the vessels of tears, sending them off.
٢. وإلى دياركُم نَحِنُّ صَبابةً
وَنَفُضُّ أوعيَةَ الدموعِ ونُرسِلُ
3. Those dwellings - no cloud passes by them,
Craving them, without a languishing eye.
٣. تلك المنازلُ ما تمرُّ سحابةٌ
تهمى بها إِلا وعينٌ تَهمُلُ
4. It hurts them not, when they alight in its glades,
That no lofty abode is seen in them.
٤. ما ضَرَّها إذ ينزلون رُبُوعَها
ألاّ يُرى فيها لعلوةَ مَنزِلُ
