1. إنّي هويتكَ ما اتخذتُ قراري

    قدراً غزوتَ بفرقديكَ .. مداري  

    I fell in love with you; it was not my choice.

    By fate, you invaded my orbit with your twin stars.

  2. قدرٌ جرى وأنا مسيّرةٌ فهل ؟!

    سأردّها بتيقّظِي ..أقداري  ؟

    Fate ran its course, and I was driven along—can I

    turn them back through my vigilance—my destinies?

  3. قدرٌ ..كميلادِ الصّباحِ من الدّجى

    كالموت .. رغم تعاظمِ الأسوارِ

    Fate—like morning's birth out of night's darkness,

    like death, however massive the walls become;

  4. كالزرعِ يخرجُ شطْأَه فإذا استوَى

    غلُظَ .. اتّقاء قساوةِ الإعصارِ

    like a crop that sends forth its shoots and, when it stands upright,

    grows thick to guard against the hurricane's harshness.

  5. قدري هواكَ فكيف لي أن أتّقي

    شغفَ الريَاحِ .. ولوعةَ التيّار

    My fate is to love you—so how can I shield myself

    from the winds' passion and the current's burning anguish?
