القصائد · Poems (4)
جَادَكَ الغَيْثُ إِذَا الغَيْثُ هَمَى
May the rain water you when the rain pours
O time of union in Andalusia
لَمْ يَكُنْ وَصْلُكَ إِلَّا حُلُمًا
Your union was only a dream
In slumber or a thief's stolen moment
لَيتَ شِعري أَترى تَرجِعُ الأَرضُ نَضرَةً؟
Would that I knew, will the land regain its bloom?
Or will the clouds return to pour tears from…
لَيتَني أَعيشُ في نَهرِها لِدَهرٍ
Would that I could live in her river for an age,
singing until my shadow dances in her depths.
