أَرى في مَنامي كُلَّ شَيءٍ يَسُرُّني

أَرى في مَنامي كُلَّ شَيءٍ يَسُرُّني

وَرُؤيايَ بَعدَ النَومِ أَدهى وَأَقبَحُ

وَرُؤيايَ بَعدَ النَومِ أَدهى وَأَقبَحُ

I see in my sleep everything that delights me.

In my dreams, I see everything that delights me,

Yet my vision after sleep is more dreadful and uglier.

Yet my visions after waking are more bitter and uglier.

فَإِن كانَ خَيراً فَهُوَ أَضغاثُ حالِمٍ

فَإِن كانَ خَيراً فَهُوَ أَضغاثُ حالِمٍ

وَإِن كانَ شَرّاً جاءَ مِن قَبلِ أُصبِحُ

وَإِن كانَ شَرّاً جاءَ مِن قَبلِ أُصبِحُ

So if it is good, it is a dreamer's jumble of dreams.

If it was good, it is but the ramblings of a dreamer,

And if it is evil, it comes before I reach morning.

And if it was evil, it came with the morning light.
