1. Those lofty dreams have wearied my imagination
And their attainment has confounded my eloquence
١. أَعيَت عَلى الأَوهامِ تِلكَ العُلى
وَاِستَعجَمَت مِن وَصلِهِنَّ الفِصاح
2. No goals are reached save through yearning
No lightning flashes but from the clash of clouds
٢. لا تُدرَكُ الغاياتُ إِلا مُنىً
لا يُجتَلى البارِقُ إِلا التِماح
