1. وبيضاء كالبلور جاد بها الحيا

    فأهوت تهاوى بين أجنحة القطر

    And a white hailstone, like crystal, the rain bestowed;

    Then it plunged, tumbling between the wings of rain.

  2. تذوب كقلب الصب لكنه جو

    بنار هواه وهي مثلوجة الصدر

    It melts like a lover’s heart, yet his is burning

    With the fire of his passion, while its breast is ice-cold.
