1. As if the stars of night marched their day
And met for an evening though they were radiant travelers
١. كَأَنَّ نُجوم اللَيل سارَت نَهارَها
وَوافقت عَشاءاً وَهِيَ أَنضاء أَسفار
2. So they lingered until their riders rested
With no orbit revolving, no planet wandering
٢. فخيمنَ حَتّى تَستَريح ركابها
فَلا فلك جارٍ وَلا كَوكَب سار
