دبcrept البلىdecay فيهinto him وهوwhile he is حيّalive
دب البلى فيه وهو حيّ
فماso not علىupon الأرضthe earth منهof him شيanything
فما على الأرض منه شي
Decay crept into him while he was still alive,
The form of decay walks upon it while it lives
so nothing of him is left upon the earth
So there is nothing left on earth from it
إلاexcept خيالاa phantom إذاwhen تمشّىhe walks
إلا خيالا إذا تمشّى
أوor شبحٌa specter فيin القميصthe shirt حيalive
أو شبحٌ في القميص حي
except a phantom when he walks,
Except an apparition when it walks
or a living specter in the shirt.
Or a ghost in its shroud lives
طوتهfolded him up أيّامهhis days الخواليbygone
طوته أيّامه الخوالي
فماso not لهfor him فيin الشموسthe suns فيa shadow
فما له في الشموس في
His bygone days have folded him up,
Its days folded it away
so he has no shadow beneath the suns.
So it has nothing left in the suns
