1. إِن لِلَيل بَقايا عَنبَر

    في قَميص الصُبح مِنهُ أَثرُ

    Indeed, God has stores of ambergris;

    in dawn’s garment there is a trace of it.

  2. بادَرت أَيدي الصِبا تلمسهُ

    فَبَدا عِندَ الرِياض الخَبَر

    The hands of the east wind hastened to touch it,

    and among the gardens, the tidings appeared.
