في العادة تبدو الحياة صفحة في كتاب
Life usually looks
As a page in a book
حرفا مكتوبا بحبر من سراب
جملة من اسئلة
تبحث عن جواب
A letter with ink of mirage
A group of questions
Looking for an answer .
هل من جواب؟
لا .. لاتذهب بعيدا
في سؤال السؤال
حقيقة في خيال لاتبحث عن
Is there an answer ?
Nay , do not go far away
In questioning a question
Do not look for a truth
In a camouflage
فالحياة ذكريات وماتبقى الى زوال
Life is but memories
And what else fades away
With no prize
هي لحظة كالبرق تومض في الغرب
وتنطفئ في الشرق
It is a moment like a glance
Flashes in west
And extinguishes in east
هي نهر هي جسر
تكسره الامواج
امواج الشوق
It is a river
It is a bridge
Broken by waves
By longing waves
هاقد آن الاوان كي نجمع الاحزان
في سلة مصنوعة من قصب النسيان
It is the time
To collect sadness
And to put it in a basket
Made of forgetfulness cane
تذهب بعيدا في سؤال السؤال لا
لا تبحث عن حقيقة في خيال
Nay , do not go far away
In questioning a question
Do not look for a truth
In a camouflage
فالحياة ذكريات وماتبقى الى زوال
Life is but memories
And what else fades away
With no prize
