لِحِيرةِ فكري من دُرُوسِ المَرابِعِ
By your life, my lingering at the protected grounds was not
By your life, we did not linger long on the ruins
from my mind's bewilderment at the fading of the spring encampments;
In my bewilderment from the lessons of the square.
ولكنْand yet تمَشَّتْwandered فيamong ذَراهُits heights عُيونُناour eyes
ولكنْ تمَشَّتْ في ذَراهُ عُيونُنا
تجُرُّtrailing علىover الأطْلالِthe ruins ذَيْلَthe train المَدَامِعِthe tears
تجُرُّ على الأطْلالِ ذَيْلَ المَدَامِعِ
rather, our eyes wandered among its heights,
Yet our eyes wandered over its particles,
trailing over the ruins the train of tears.
Dragging over the vestiges the trains of tears.
