1. He stretched out his hands and bowed his head
And stood on the tree stump like an orator
١. مَدَّ يَدَيهِ وَحَنا رَأسَهُ
وَقامَ في الجِذعِ مَقامَ الخَطيب
2. The sun disappeared for him at midday
Yet the sun was not inclined to set
٢. فَغابَتِ الشَّمسُ لَهُ ضَحوَةً
وَالشَّمسُ ما آنَ لَها أَن تَغيب
