1. On a Thursday when the night and full moon
Were clothed in darkness and gloom
١. في خَميسٍ كَأَنَّما السُمرُ وَالأَب
طالُ فيهِ غِيلٌ حَمَتهُ أُسودُ
2. The sun was robbed of its light by other
Suns rising, their orbits iron
٢. سَلبَ الشَمس ضوءها بِشموسٍ
طالِعاتٍ أَفلاكُهُنَّ حَديدُ
3. A stallion whenever lightning flashed white
Would neigh loudly at the thunder's loud boom
٣. عارِضٌ كُلَّما جَلَتهُ بُروقُ ال
بيضِ حَثَّتهُ بِالصَهيلِ الرَعودُ
