1. I roamed through all those schools
And let my eyes wander among those symbols
١. لَقَد طُفتُ في تِلكَ المَعاهِدِ كُلِّها
وَسيَّرْتُ طَرفي بَينَ تِلكَ المَعالِمِ
2. Yet I saw none but one perplexed
Resting his jaw in his hand
٢. فَلَم أَرَ إِلّا واضِعاً كَفَّ حَيرَةٍ
عَلى ذَقَنٍ أَو قارِعاً سِنَّ نادِمِ
