لو كانَ عُمْرًا مِنْ خَيالٍ لانقَضى
A long night passes as I wait for you.
Had it been a lifetime of imagination, it would have ended.

It let the shadows of time fall over my imagination.
And worry is lightning that flashed in darkness.

تَعِبَ الذي أحصى الثواني بالحَصى
حتَّىuntil أشاحَturned away الرَّملُthe sand عنهُfrom him وأعْرَضاand turned aside
حتَّى أشاحَ الرَّملُ عنهُ وأعْرَضا
He who counted the seconds with pebbles grew weary.
Until the sand turned away from him and shunned him.
