O night of al-Jar‘ā’, in my heart you have so many
O night of bitter drafts, how many fires
hearths of fire from the lightning flashes of your darkness!
In your thickets blaze from your lightning's sparks

And O dwelling, how often the clouds poured upon you from
And O house, how much weeping pours from clouds
the eyes of one weeping at the gleam of your blades!
Onto you, from plates of your clouds' downpours
