لأرسلتها مقطوعة العقل تغتدي

شوارد قد بالغن في الجولان

شوارد قد بالغن في الجولان

I would surely send it forth, its tether cut, setting out at dawn—

I would have sent them forth, their tethers cut, setting out at dawn—

wild-running verses that have ranged far in their roaming—

wanderers that have roamed far and wide;

قوارص تبقى ما رأى الشمس ناظر

قوارص تبقى ما رأى الشمس ناظر

وما سمعت من سامع أذنان

وما سمعت من سامع أذنان

biting lines that endure as long as a beholder sees the sun,

stinging words that endure as long as anyone beholds the sun,

and as long as a hearer’s two ears have heard.

and as long as a listener's two ears hear.
