1. أَجنِحَةً كَأَنَّها

    أَردِيَةٌ مِن قَصَبِ

    Wings as though they were

    robes of fine linen,

  2. لَكِنَّها مَنقوطَةٌ

    مِثلَ صُدورِ الكُتُبِ

    yet they are dotted

    like the opening pages of books;

  3. وَأَرجُلٍ كَأَنَّها

    مَناشِرٌ مِن ذَهَبِ

    and legs as though they were

    saws of gold.
