1. A fire arrived with which warriors kindled,
I have a wet log, youth’s greenness.
١. نارٌ أَتاكَ بِها غَزا
لٌ أَهيَفٌ رَطبُ الشَبابِ
2. Veiled in its ashes
After blazing up and burning,
٢. مَحجوبَةٌ بِرَمادِها
بَعدَ اضَطِرامٍ وَالتِهابِ
3. Like medicine when it appears
In its glass under bubbles.
٣. مِثلَ العَقارِ إِذا بَدَت
في كَأسِها تَحتَ الحَبابِ
