1. As if time itself had confused me with it,
In the likes of what I desired or what gifted me,
١. حتى كأَنَّ الدَّهْرَ حَيَّرني به
في مثلِ ما أَهواهُ أَو منَّاني
2. So I sought above my bedrest no eloquence for it,
And it came with a miracle from the Bestower.
٢. فطلبتُ فوق مُنايَ لا ستعجازِهِ
فأَتى بمعجِزَةٍ مِنَ المَنَّانِ
