1. He rose, unable to stand on his own feet,
Accustomed to parting's dwelling place,
١. قام ولما يستعن بساقه
آلف مثواهُ على فراقه
2. As if he were bound in apparition -
He saw a lover and yearned to embrace him.
٢. كأنّهُ في الشبحِ من وثاقهِ
رأى حبيباً همّ باعتناقه
3. As if laughing through clenched teeth.
٣. كأنه يضحك في أشداقه
