وَجهُهُ وَمَنطِقُه

وَجهُهُ وَمَنطِقُه

جَنَّتانِ أَينَعَتا

His face and his speech—

His face and his speech -

His face and his speech

two gardens in full bloom.

Two gardens in full bloom.

Are two gardens that have ripened.

ما دَرى الزَمانُ وَقَد

ما دَرى الزَمانُ وَقَد

جارَ فيهِ أَينَ عَتا

جارَ فيهِ أَينَ عَتا

Time never knew, though it

Time knows not where it went

Time knew not, when it oppressed him,

wronged him, where it had overstepped.

While wandering in them.

Where exactly it had transgressed.
