شَرِبتُI drank نَوماًsleep بِسَهَرwith sleeplessness
شَرِبتُ نَوماً بِسَهَر
وَغُصتُand I dived فيinto بَحرِsea of الفِكَرthoughts
وَغُصتُ في بَحرِ الفِكَر
I drank sleep with sleeplessness.
I drank sleep with wakefulness
And I dived into the sea of thoughts.
And choked in an ocean of thought
ماwhat لِلتَصابيfor youthful dalliance وَالغِيَرand vicissitudes
ما لِلتَصابي وَالغِيَر
مَنwhoever عَرَفَhas known الحُبَّlove عَذَرforgives
مَن عَرَفَ الحُبَّ عَذَر
What of youthful dalliance and vicissitudes?
What is alienation and change
Whoever knows love forgives.
To one who knows love’s excuse
Sol 6.1
