أتطمعُ أن تمزِّقني الحروبُ
وأنand that يغتالmurder أفراحيmy joys الغروبُthe sunset
وأن يغتال أفراحي الغروبُ
Do you hope that wars will tear me apart,
Do you hope that wars will tear me apart,
And that sunset will murder my joys,
And that sorrows will assassinate my joys at sunset,
وأنand that تُلْقيcast down بيme الأيامُthe days شِلْواًa severed limb
وأن تُلْقي بي الأيامُ شِلْواً

تناوشهُ الكوارثُ والكروبُ؟
And that the days will cast me down, a severed limb,
And that days will cast me aside broken,
Assailed by calamities and sorrows?
With disasters and sorrows gnawing at me?
أتتركنيWill you abandon me وأنتَthough you are شقيقُthe twin of روحيmy soul
أتتركني وأنتَ شقيقُ روحي

تقاذفُني الفدافدُ والدروبُ؟
Will you abandon me, though you are my soul's twin,
Will you abandon me, though you're the soul's twin,
While barren wastes and paths toss me to and fro?
While roads and paths toss me around?
أجِبْنيAnswer me كيفَhow خانتنيbetrayed me اللياليthe nights؟
أجِبْني كيفَ خانتني الليالي؟
وكيفand how تجهَّمَgrew grim الوجهُthe face الطَّروبُjoyous؟
وكيف تجهَّمَ الوجهُ الطَّروبُ؟
Answer me: how did the nights betray me?
Tell me how nights have betrayed me,
And how did the joyous face grow grim?
And how the cheerful face has frowned.
