1. The greenness of the sea was a towering palace
In it pearls that bore no piercings
١. كانَ اِخضِرار البَحر صرح مَمرد
وَفيهِ لآلٍ لَم تَشن بِثُقوب
2. The blackness of night in the light of its dawn
Was blackness of youth amidst whiteness of old age
٢. كانَ سَواد اللَيل في ضوء صُبحه
سَواد شَباب في بَياض مَشيب
