يمكن نسي و ع قد ما محى صور وتنكر
he might have forgotten, as he erased pictures and denied,
و ع قد ما ببالو ربي النسيان
and as oblivion grew in him,
يمكن نسي إنه نسي
he might have forgotten that he had forgotten
يمكن نسي إنه نسي وتذكر
he might have forgotten that he had forgotten and remembered.
ويمكن نسي انه على جبينو
He might have forgotten that
مكتوبة قصة عم تشرحو مينو
his story is written all over his face.

He might have forgotten that
مكتوبة قصة عم تشرحو مينو

وإنو حروفها عالبعد بتصير
its words, from a distance,
تضوي عتم الغياب وسنينو
lighting up the darkness of his absence.

ويمكن نسي إنو الهوى فكرة
He might have forgotten that love is a thought
وباب القلب واقف على دقرة
and that hearts are always welcoming.

وإنو كتب مرة ع هاك الباب
And that on his heart he had once written,
أول هالدني يا صبي بكرا
Tomorrow brings new beginnings
