Had his gaze caught a glimpse of smoke

لو عاينت مقلته دخنة

1. Had his gaze caught a glimpse of smoke
His heart would have been stolen from its shell

١. لَو عايَنَت مُقلَتُهُ دُخنَةً
لَاِستَرَقَ اللُبَّ مِنَ القِشرِ

2. And had a critic pried it open afterward
He'd have found no trace or mark of a crack

٢. وَلو فَلاها بَعدَهُ ناقِدٌ
لَم يَرَ فيها أَثَرَ الكَسرِ

3. He could almost steal the fragrance of the meadows
From the sleeper of the night without him knowing

٣. يَكادُ أَن يَسرِقَ طيبَ الكَرى
مِن راقِدِ اللَيلِ وَلا يَدري

4. And if he wished, he could make it possible
To steal the sweetness from the wine

٤. هَذا وَلو شاءَ غَدا مُمكِناً
أَن يَسرِقَ السُكرَ مِنَ الخَمرِ
