    Default Literary Translation: Practice 1

    Dear All

    Here is the first literary text, written by our dear friend and talented dramatist Usama Nour, which I'd like you to translate into English


    دع العشقََ الذي ذُقْنَا يَضِيِعْ
    فأجنحةُ الهوىَ تَهْوَىَ الرُّجُوعْ
    وتَسْهِيِدُ الجوىَ وقتَ الهُجُوعْ
    وأقداحُ التَّصَبِّيِ في الدموعْ
    سترْجِعُ ذاتَ يومٍ في خُضُوعْ
    كأجنحةِ الحمائمِ في الرُّبُوعْ
    إلى أعْشَاشِهَا بين الضلوعْ
    لتهتفَ نشوةُ العشقِ البديعْ
    "أنا في العشقِ أنوارُ الشموعْ"
    دع العشقََ الذي
    ذُقْنَا
    يضيعْ


    Best wishes

    let love we tasted go
    the wings of love are fond of return
    and make passion sleepless
    the drinking glasses of tears one day
    will return in submission
    like the wings of doves in the sky
    when they come back to their nests
    among ribs
    to call the ecstasy of love
    in passion, I am the light of candles
    let love we
    tasted
    go

    Let Love we felt to go away

    Knowing that it will return one day

    Griefs shall appeal in sleepless souls

    And heart will be filled with tears and calls

    , wandering on its way,

    To back in peace with no nay

    Just to say: to the same arms I shall stay

    She also to sing "the lovely amour

    to which I will be all-lights and adore

    Let love we felt to go away


    Naglaa Abdel Hay Soliman

    Let the love we shared flyaway

    Love always finds back its way

    All the sleepless nights

    And all the intoxicating tears of love

    Shall willingly return one day

    Like a dove in the meadows flappig its wings

    Towards its home at heart where it belongs

    As the marvelous joy of love sings

    "Like candle lights my love aflame will stay"

    Let the love we shared flyaway
