1. هي الفتاة إِذا اعتلت مفاصلُها

    بالنوم واعتلت الأفواهُ بالسحرِ

    She is the maiden who, when her joints grow languid

    with sleep, and mouths turn foul at dawn,

  2. طابت هناك لِحينٍ لا يطيب له

    إلا الرياض كأن ليست من البشر

    is fragrant then, at an hour when nothing is fragrant

    but gardens—as though she were not human.
