1. O arrow for the lightning that rose high
Stayed despite the darkness as daylight
١. يا سَهمُ لِلبَرقِ الَّذي اِستَطارا
باتَ عَلى رَغمِ الدُجى نَهارا
2. Until when it helped the sights
And brought openly rain and called secretly
٢. حَتّى إِذا ما أَنجَدَ الأَبصارا
وَبلاً جَهاراً وَنَدىً سِرارا
3. It quenched for us water and was fire
It pleased the land and angered the dust
٣. آضَ لَنا ماءً وَكانَ نارا
أَرضى الثَرى وَأَسخَطَ الغُبارا
