Poetry is a waterfall on my obsession

الشعر

1. Poetry is a waterfall on my obsession
Quenching my heart, its mouth a chain

١. الشِّعرُ شَلَّالٌ على هاجِسي
سقا فُؤادي، سَلْسَلًا ثَغْرُهُ

2. Some of its critics find fault in my poetry
Its fragrance is envied by the flowers of meadows

٢. يَعِيبُ شِعريَ بَعْضُ نُقَّادِهِ
يُحْسَدُ مِن زَهْرِ الرُّبى عِطْرُهُ

3. My friends say I am a prisoner of love
The most delightful thing in its prison is its bond

٣. يقولُ أصحابي أَسِيرُ الهَوى
أَلَذُّ ما في سِجْنِهِ أَسْرُهُ

4. How many tasted the cup of estrangement? But;
What pained it most was its betrayal

٤. كم ذاقَ كأسَ الهَجْرِ؟ لَكِنَّه؛
أَوجعَهُ مِنْ حِبِّهِ غَدْرُهُ

5. The meters of my poems are its melodies
Its sea makes its rhythms

٥. أوزانُ أشعاري تراتيلهُ
يَصنعُ تفعيلاتِها بَحْرُهُ

6. It writes them on its tablet sometimes
And sometimes it brags about them in its chest

٦. يَكتُبُها في لَوحِهِ تارةً
وتارةً يَزهو بها صَدْرُهُ

7. To people and the world belong half of passion
And the other half belongs only to lonely me

٧. للنّاسِ والعالَمِ شَطْرُ الجَوَى
ولي، أنا وحدي إذًا شَطْرُهُ

8. No patience, but I claim that I
Am the most patient, its patience never wavered

٨. لا صَبْرَ، لَكِنْ أَدَّعِي أَنَّني
أكبَرُ صَبٍّ، ما وَهَى صَبْرُهُ

9. I conceal my sorrows from people, and how much
Secrets of my heart with gloom their grave

٩. أُكاتِمُ النّاسَ شُجوني، وكم
سِرٍّ فُؤادي والدُّجَى قَبْرُه
