She vanished into the soil in the season of roses,
Speaking through the language of her condition in the grave:
لَوif أَنبَتَit caused to grow ماwhatever شاءَit wished شَقيقاًanemones بَعديafter me
لَو أَنبَتَ ما شاءَ شَقيقاً بَعدي
ماnot عَوَّضَit would compensate طولَthroughout the length of دهرهits lifetime عَنfor خَدّىmy cheek
ما عَوَّضَ طولَ دهره عَن خَدّى
Were the earth to grow as many anemones as it wished after me,
Through all its ages, it would not make up for my cheek.
