1. If she smiles her blessing, it rains on her lips
Arid, solid, like the arch of a bridge
١. إذا بَرَكَت خَرَّت على ثَفناتها
مجافيةً صلباً كَقنطرةِ الجِسرِ
2. As if her hands where her bracelets flow
Are two fleeing does and her feet seek their ankles
٢. كأنَّ يديها حينَ تجري ضفورُها
طريدانِ والرجلان طالبتا وِترِ
