1. وَالرَعدُ في أَرجائِهِ مُتَرَنِّمُ

    وَالبَرقُ في حافاتِهِ مُتَلَهِّبُ

    And thunder sings throughout its reaches,

    And lightning blazes along its edges,

  2. كَالبُلقِ تَرمَحُ وَالصَوارِمِ تُنتَضى

    وَالجَوُّ يَبسُمُ وَالأَنامِلُ تَحسُبُ

    Like piebald horses kicking and keen swords being drawn.

    And the sky smiles, and the fingers count.

  3. وَعَلى الصَباحِ غُلالَةٌ فِضِّيَّةٌ

    فيها طِرازٌ مِن خَيالِكَ مُذَهَّبُ

    And over the morning lies a silvery veil,

    Within it, a gilded embroidery of your image.
