من ذا يلوم المرء في روعه

من ذا يلوم المرء في روعه

فالروع ذهّاب بعقل الرجالْ

فالروع ذهّاب بعقل الرجالْ

Who would blame a man in his fright?

Who can blame a man for his passion?

For fright sweeps away men's reason.

For passion makes the wisest lose all reason.

كم مستحيل ردَّه جائزاً

كم مستحيل ردَّه جائزاً

وجائزٍ عاد به كالمحالْ

وجائزٍ عاد به كالمحالْ

How many an impossibility it has made possible,

How often the impossible becomes possible,

And how many a possibility it has made seem impossible!

And the possible returns as if impossible.
