أَخْبِرْنِي كَيْفَ لِلْعُمْرِ أَنْ يَقِفَ عِنْدَ عَيْنَيْكَ !

Akhbirnī kayfa lil'umri an yaqifa 'inda 'aynayk!

Tell me how life can stop at your eyes!

كَيْفَ لِنَظْرَةٍ مِنْكَ أَنْ تُقْصِيَ عَنْ صَدْرِي أَسَى السِّنِينِ !

Kayfa linaẓratin minka an tuqṣiya 'an ṣadrī asā al-sinīn!

How can a glance from you remove the sorrow of years from my chest!

أَمَانٌ هُوَ القُرْبُ مِنْكَ ..

Amānun huwa al-qurbu minka..

Safety is being close to you..

كَأَنَّ غُبَارَ طَرِيقِي قَدِ انْقَشَعْ ..

Ka'anna ghubāra ṭarīqī qadi inqasha'.

As if the dust of my path has cleared..

أَغْدُو إِلَى مَكَانِنَا المَعْهُودِ ..

Aghdū ilā makāninā al-ma'hūdi..

I go to our usual place..

أَسْرِقُ مِظَلَّةَ الوَقْتِ ..

Asriqu miẓallata al-waqti..

I steal the umbrella of time..

لِأَلْتَقِيَ بِعَيْنَيْكَ الغَرِيبَتَيْنِ ..

Li'altaqiya bi'aynayka al-gharībatayn..

To meet your strange eyes..

المَأْلُوفَتَيْنِ كَثِيرًا !

Al-ma'lūfatayn kathīran!

So very familiar!

أُرَاقِبُ هُدُوءَ مَلَامِحِكَ عَنْ بُعْدٍ ..

Urāqibu hudū'a malāmiḥika 'an bu'din..

I watch the calmness of your features from afar..

كَأَنَّكَ هُدْنَةٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ الحَيَاةِ ..

Ka'annaka hudnatun baynī wa bayna al-ḥayāti..

As if you are a truce between me and life..

لَا نَتَكَلَّمُ..

Lā natakallamu..

We don't speak..

لَكِنَّ الصَّمْتَ بَيْنَنَا مَلِيءٌ بِالوُعُودِ ..

Lākinna al-ṣamta baynanā malī'un bil-wu'ūdi..

But the silence between us is full of promises..

يَنْفَضُّ لِقَاؤُنَا العَابِرُ سَرِيعًا..

Yanfaḍḍu liqā'unā al-'ābiru sarī'an..

Our fleeting meeting quickly disperses..

فَيَعُودُ الرَّمَادُ إِلَى دَوَاخِلِي ..

Faya'ūdu al-ramādu ilā dawākhilī..

And the ashes return to my depths..

وَأُعِيدُ صِيَاغَتَكَ قَصِيدَه !

Wa u'īdu ṣiyāghataka qaṣīdah!

And I re-formulate you as a poem!
