1. She sipped lightning from the sky and in her palm
Lightning from the coffee, frothing
١. ريعَت مِنَ البَرقِ وَفي كَفِّها
بَرقٌ مِنَ القَهوَةِ لَمّاعُ
2. If only my poetry knew, as the morning sun knows
How she trembles at the lights
٢. يا لَيتَ شِعري وَهيَ شَمسُ الضُحى
كَيفَ مِنَ الأَنوار تَرتاعُ
