1. I remembered you while the doctor was beside me
And the decision was on his bed lying
١. ولقد ذكرتكِ والطبيبُ بجانبي
والحسمُ فوق فراشهِ مطروحُ
2. And my eyelids with pincers were opened
And the scalpels on them were feasting and wandering
٢. وجفونُ عينيِ بالملاقط فتّحت
وبها المباضعُ تغتدي وتروحُ
3. And the thread was pulling in my eyelids with a needle
A pull that almost makes the soul nauseous
٣. والخيط يجذب في الجفونِ بإبرةٍ
جذباً تكاد تغِيضُ منه الروحُ
4. So I fluttered from the prick of iron as if it were
A saying clearly rejecting your excuse
٤. فطربتُ من وخز الحديد كأنه
قول برفض العذل فيك صريحُ
