بربك دعنا راقدين فلو درى

بنا الحب لم يرقد لنا أبدًا جنب

By your Lord, leave us sleeping; for if Love knew

of us, no side of ours would ever rest.

وسل راقدي الأجداث عنه، فإنهم

مجيبوك عن علم بمن قتل الحب

And ask the sleepers in the graves about him, for they

will answer you with knowledge of those whom Love has slain.

أفق مزعج الموتى، فلو كنت قادرًا

على أن تهبَّ اليوم من صرعة هَبُّوا

Wake up, disturber of the dead; for if you were able

to rouse them today from their fall, they would rise.

ولستَ إلى أن يُسمع الصور سامعًا

هنا سر مقتول يبوح به صب

And until the Trumpet is heard, you will not hear

here a slain one's secret divulged by a lovesick lover.
