Scarcely had he appeared, rising on the horizon of youth,
What rose in youth's horizon, radiant,
like the full moon on the night of its fullness, when he fell.
Like the full moon at midnight, till it fell,

برقٌ تالق بالحمى ثم انطوى
The beauties of his face vanished, as though they were
The charms of his fair face have disappeared,
lightning that gleamed over the protected grounds, then vanished.
As lightning flashes through the clouds, then hides as well.
