وقالوا بعيد قلت حسبي بأنه

معي في زمانٍ لا يطيق مجيدا

They said "Far away". I said "It's enough for me that

He is with me in a time that cannot bear the glorious.

تمر علي الشمس مثل مزورها

به كل يوم يستنير جديدا

The sun passes over me like its visitor

With it each day is illuminated anew.

وعلام إله الخلق يجمعنا معاً

كفى ذا التداني ما أريد مزيدا

And why would the God of all creation gather us together?

Enough is this proximity, I do not desire more.
