Translation of the song lyrics Wahdon - Fairuz

Wahdon (original)

وحدن بيبقو متل زهر البيلسان وحدهن بيقطفو وراق الزمان
بيسكرو الغابي بيضلهن متل الشتي يدقوا على بوابي على بوابي
يا زمان يا عشب داشر فوق هالحيطان ضويت ورد الليل عكتابي
برج الحمام مسور و عالي هج الحمام بقيت لحالي لحالي
يا ناطرين التلج ما عاد بدكن ترجعو صرخ عليهن بالشتي يا ديب بلكي بيسمعو
وحدن بيبقو متل هالغيم العتيق وحدهن وجوهن و عتم الطريق
عم يقطعوا الغابي و بإيدهن متل الشتي يدقوا البكي و هني على بوابي
يا زمان من عمر فيي العشب عالحيطان من قبل ما صار الشجر عالي
ضوي قناديل و أنطر صحابي مرقو فلو بقيت عبابي لحالي
يا رايحين و التلج ما عاد بدكن ترجعو صرخ عليهن بالشتي يا ديب بلكي بيسمعو

Wahdon (translation)

Alone they endure, elderflower’s pale flame—alone, they harvest the leaves of time’s withering vine,
They seal the forest in dusk, and remain as the rain—knocking, insistent, at my threshold, my silent door,
O time, O wild grass adrift on these ancient stones, you have kindled night’s roses across the pages of my book,
The dovecote encircled, rising aloof—when the pigeons scattered, I lingered, solitary, wholly alone,
O watchers for snow, has longing not wearied your hearts? Through winter, a cry to the wind—wolf, perhaps they will hear,
Alone they persist, like that cloud worn thin with years—only their faces remain, and the gloom of the road,
They fell the forest, and in their hands, weeping drums like rain—each sob raps at my gate, they wait at the door,
O time before me, when grass stitched the walls, before the sapling’s reach became the tall command of trees,
Kindle the lanterns, wait for companions—let them pass, let them drift, if I am left by my doorstep alone,
O you departing, with snow yet unthawed, is return so far from your thought? Cry to the wind in winter—wolf, perhaps they will hear
