سَيُرضيكَ أَنِّي مُسْخِطٌ فيكَ كاشِحاً

سَيُرضيكَ أَنِّي مُسْخِطٌ فيكَ كاشِحاً

ومُرْتَقِبٌ هَوْلَيْنِ مَوْتٌ مُرَقَّبُ

ومُرْتَقِبٌ هَوْلَيْنِ مَوْتٌ مُرَقَّبُ

It will please you that I anger a spiteful foe for your sake,

It will please you that I am angry with you, railing,

And await two terrors: an awaited death,

And awaiting two deaths, expected.

وجانبُ لَيْلٍ لَوْ تعلّقُ قِطْعَةٌ

وجانبُ لَيْلٍ لَوْ تعلّقُ قِطْعَةٌ

بقِطْعَةِ صُبْحٍ لانْثَنَتْ وهيَ غَيْهَبُ

بقِطْعَةِ صُبْحٍ لانْثَنَتْ وهيَ غَيْهَبُ

And a stretch of night—if a fragment of it clung

And a night side - if a piece of it

To a fragment of dawn, that dawn would turn to pitch darkness.

Clung to a piece of dawn, it would bend and disappear.
