The death of Saladin

THE DEATHOF SALADIN
《萨拉丁之死》

你离去，令天地垂泪，思绪与灵魂满是哀伤。无论在世还是离世，都无人可取代你的位置。天使们、先知们皆在哀悼，而我内心的悲伤已让我品不出言语的滋味，以至于我无法言说与你分别后的那种感受。内心王国的穹顶已然坍塌！当我说出“你”这个字时，我所指的是万千宇宙。那悲伤的泪水，或是心底隐秘的泪滴，无论是眼中的泪还是灵魂之泪，昨日我看到在你不在之时，这所有的泪都奔涌而出只为找寻你。那如明亮火鸟般的萨拉丁如箭般离去了，如今那弯弓在颤抖、在啜泣。倘若你懂得为人类落泪，那就为萨拉丁哭泣吧。

You left ground and sky weeping,mind
and soul full of grief.No one can
take your place in existence or in
absence.Both mourn, the angels,the
prophets,and this sadness I feel has taken from me the taste of language,
so that I can't say the flavor of my being apart.The roof of the kingdom
within has collapsed!When I say the word you,I mean a hundred universes.
Pouring grief water, or secret dripping in the heart, eyes in the head or eyes
of the soul,I saw yesterday that all
these flow out to find you when you're
not here.That bright fire bird Saladin went like an arrow, and now the bow
trembles and sobs. If you know how to weep for human beings,weep for Saladin.
