كونٌ من اللألاء يصطفق

كونٌ من اللألاء يصطفق

ضدان فيه الصبح والغسق

ضدان فيه الصبح والغسق

A universe of radiance surges.

A being of pearls clashing

Two opposites within him: dawn and dusk.

In him dawn and dusk collide

في كفه للحسن مصطبح

في كفه للحسن مصطبح

وبوجهه للزهو مُغْتبق

وبوجهه للزهو مُغْتبق

In his palm, a morning draught for beauty.

In his palm beauty's lantern glows

And in his face, an evening draught for pride.

And on his face vanity kindles

وبخيله تخضر مجدبة

وبخيله تخضر مجدبة

وعرائس الأنهار تحترق

وعرائس الأنهار تحترق

And with his horses, barren land turns green.

With his shadow a wasteland greens

And the brides of the rivers burn.

And the nymphs of rivers blaze

تتطامن الأبعاد في يده

تتطامن الأبعاد في يده

ويضيع في نظراته الأفق

ويضيع في نظراته الأفق

Distances bow low in his hand.

Dimensions harmonize in his hand

And the horizon is lost in his glances.

And the horizon wanders astray in his glances
