1. الغَيمُ مِن بَينِ مَغبوقٍ وَمُصطَبَحِ

    مِن ريقِ مُكتَفِلاتٍ بِالثَرى دُلُحِ

    The thirsty are given drink, some at dusk and some at dawn,

    From the spittle of heavy clouds cloaked in damp earth;

  2. دُهمٍ إِذا ضَحِكَت في رَوضَةٍ طَفِقَت

    عُيونُ نُوّارِها تَبكي مِنَ الفَرَحِ

    Dark clouds—when they laugh in a meadow,

    The eyes of its blossoms begin to weep for joy.
