Source text - English Owners of the Old Sweet Shop in the Kent village of Chipstead knew that their house might be one of the oldest in the village.

English to Arabic: Summer Storm عاصفة صيف General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English We stood on the rented patio
While the party went on inside.
You knew the groom from college.
I was a friend of the bride.
We hugged the brownstone wall behind us
To keep our dress clothes dry
And watched the sudden summer storm
Floodlit against the sky.
The rain was like a waterfall
Of brilliant beaded light,
Cool and silent as the stars
The storm hid from the night.
Translation - Arabic وقفنا في الساحة المستأجرة،
بينما دار الحفل في الداخل،
أنت تعرف العريس منذ زمن المدرسة،
بينما كنتَ صديق العروس..
عانقنا الجدار الحجري خلفنا،
كيما نحفظ أرديتنا من البلل،
شاهدنا عاصفة الصيف الهوجاء
وهي تغمر وجه السماء..
كان المطر مثل شلال مطرز بألق الضياء،
وكما النجوم الواجمة الهادئة،
توارت العاصفة عن المساء…
English to Arabic: Litany إبتهال General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English
This is a litany of lost things,
a canon of possessions dispossessed,
a photograph, an old address, a key.
It is a list of words to memorize
or to forget–of amo, amas, amat,
the conjugations of a dead tongue
in which the final sentence has been spoken.
This is the liturgy of rain,
falling on mountain, field, and ocean–
indifferent, anonymous, complete–
of water infinitesimally slow,
sifting through rock, pooling in darkness,
gathering in springs, then rising without our agency,
only to dissolve in mist or cloud or dew.
Translation - Arabic هذا دعاء الأشياء المفتقدة،
سِفرُ الأملاك المنتهبة،
صورةٌ وعنوان قديم ..
مفتاح، لائحة كلماتٍ كي نستظهرها أو ننساها،
من نوع أُحبُ وتُحبُ وهي تُحبُ،
تصاريفَ لغة ميتة ،قد نُطقت جملتها الأخيرة…
هذا طقس المطر..
يسقط على الجبل والحقل والخضم،
بارد ومجهول وعميم،
من ماء عظيم التمهل،
يتسرب عبر الصخر متجمعا في الدجنة،
يحتشد في ينابيع ليرتفع وحده
ثم يذوب مجددا في الضباب والسحاب والندى…
