1. وَقَد غَدَوتُ وَصُبحُ اللَيلِ مُنتَقِصٌ

    وَغَرَّةُ الصُبحِ مَصقولٌ حَواشيها

    And I set out early, while the night's dawn was waning,

    And the brow of dawn was polished along its edges.

  2. وَغَرَّبَت أَنجُمُ الظُلَماءِ وَاِنحَدَرَت

    فَشالَ أَرجُلُها وَاِنحَطَّ أَيديها

    And the stars of darkness moved westward and descended,

    So their feet rose and their hands sank.
