وفي معبد الأحلامِ روحٌ كئيبةٌ
تُرَجِّعechoes أنغاماًmelodies يئنّgroans لهاto them الدهرُtime
تُرَجِّع أنغاماً يئنّ لها الدهرُ
And in the temple of dreams is a sorrowful soul,
In the temple of dreams, a sorrowful soul
Echoing melodies to which time groans.
Returns melodies to which time moans,
وتعبدهاand worships her شمسُsun الربيعspring وحورُهُand its houris
وتعبدها شمسُ الربيع وحورُهُ
ويهفوand yearns لهاfor her فيin طيّthe folds of أطيابهits fragrances الزهرthe blossoms
ويهفو لها في طيّ أطيابه الزهر
And spring’s sun and its houris worship her,
The spring's sun and nymphs worship it
And the blossoms yearn for her in the folds of their fragrances.
And the flowers whisper sweetly to it.
وترنوand gazes لهاat her زُرْقُblue النجومِthe stars مُطلّةًpeering down
وترنو لها زُرْقُ النجومِ مُطلّةً
ويجثوand kneels لهاbefore her ماreinforcing particle بينbetween جدرانهits walls القبرthe grave
ويجثو لها ما بين جدرانه القبر
And the blue stars gaze at her, peering down,
The blueness of stars gaze longingly at it,
And the grave kneels before her within its walls.
And between its walls, the grave bows to it.
