جنَتdealt harm عليّto me اللياليthe nights غيرnot ظالمةٍunjust
جنَت عليّ الليالي غير ظالمةٍ
إنيindeed I لأهلٌsurely deserving لماof what ألقاهI encounter it منfrom زمنيmy time
إني لأهلٌ لما ألقاه من زمني
The nights have dealt me harm, yet not unjustly.
The nights have sinned against me, though not unkindly.
I am indeed deserving of what my time brings me.
I am worthy of what my days have dealt me.
فماfor never رأيتI saw منof الأخطارthe dangers عاديةan onslaught
فما رأيت من الأخطار عادية
إلاexcept that بنيتُI built علىon أجوازهاtheir centers سكنىa dwelling
إلا بنيتُ على أجوازها سكنى
For never did I see an onslaught of dangers
I've seen no common dangers I did not try to build
Without building a dwelling in their midst.
My dwelling safely past their range.
ولاand never لمحتُI glimpsed منof الآمالِthe hopes بارقةًa flash
ولا لمحتُ من الآمالِ بارقةً
إلاexcept that تقحّمتُI braved ماwhat تجتازit crosses منof قُنَنpeaks
إلا تقحّمتُ ما تجتاز من قُنَن
Nor did I glimpse a flash of hope
I've glimpsed no hopes, however faint their light,
Without braving the peaks it crosses.
But plunged ahead through limitations deep.
أحلتُI transformed دنيايmy world معنىan idea لاno قرارrest لهfor it
أحلتُ دنياي معنى لا قرار له
فيin ذمةthe obligation المجدglory ماwhat شرّدتُI banished منof وسنdrowsiness
في ذمة المجد ما شرّدتُ من وسن
I turned my world into an idea that knows no rest.
I've given my life meaning without rest
Glory owes a debt for the drowsiness I banished.
In service to a glory.
