صبري الذي اقتسمته غربةٌ ونوى

صبري الذي اقتسمته غربةٌ ونوى

كأنما لهما في ذاك ميراث

كأنما لهما في ذاك ميراث

My patience, which exile and separation have divided between them,

My patience, which exile and longing have shared

As though the two had an inheritance in it;

As if for them in that a heritage

وكل يومٍ على ما فيه من هرم

وكل يومٍ على ما فيه من هرم

يلقى صروف الليالي وهي أحداث

يلقى صروف الليالي وهي أحداث

And every day, despite its old age,

And every day, with what it holds of age

It faces the vicissitudes of the nights, while they are young.

Meets the turns of nights and their events
