The anemones thrilled to the dove when he sang
The anemones thrilled to the doves as they sang
the song of singing-girls, and rent the trailing folds of their robes.
the song of singing girls; so the flowers tore the trailing hem of their robe.
فكأنّهso it was as though الحبشيُّthe Abyssinian يصبغwas dyeing جسمهhis body
فكأنّه الحبشيُّ يصبغ جسمه

Each seemed an Abyssinian dyeing his body,
It was as though an Abyssinian were dyeing his body,
his fingertips stained with his own blood.
and his fingertips were stained with his blood.
