قبحَ الإله عصابةً ما فيهمِ
يقظٌ يبيّض أوجه الآمالِ
May God disfigure a gang who has none
Awake brightening the faces of hopes
نامت عيونهمُ لنوم قلوبهم
فبياضُ صبحهمِ سواد ليالي
Their eyes slept due to the sleep of their hearts
So the whiteness of their dawn is the blackness of nights
لاتطمعنْ ما عشت في لقياهمُ
إلاّ إذا ما كنتَ طيفَ خيال
Do not hope as long as you live to meet them
Unless you are a specter of imagination
