1. وأبيض اللون أودعناه صافية

    تذيع ما استخفيت فيه وتبديه

    And a white-hued one—we entrusted it with clear wine,

    Revealing what you concealed within it and laying it bare.

  2. كأنه برد صاغ الهواء له

    من ريق القطر أكنانا توقيه

    As though it were hail, for which the air fashioned

    Shelters from the rain’s saliva to protect it.
