1. وَقَد غَدَوتُ وَصُبحُ اللَيلِ مُنتَقِصٌ

    وَغَرَّةُ الصُبحِ مَصقولٌ حَواشيها

    And I had set out early, while night's dawn was still incomplete,

    and morning's bright brow had burnished edges.

  2. وَغَرَّبَت أَنجُمُ الظُلَماءِ وَاِنحَدَرَت

    فَشالَ أَرجُلُها وَاِنحَطَّ أَيديها

    The stars of darkness had set and descended,

    so their feet rose and their hands sank.
