1. لَهُ هَيدَبٌ دانٍ وَرَعدٌ وَلَجَّةٌ

    وَبَرقٌ تَراهُ ساطِعاً يَتَبَلَّجُ

    It has a low-hanging fringe of rain, thunder, and a roar,

    And lightning you see gleaming, shining forth.

  2. فَباتَت كِلابُ الحَيِّ يَنبَحنَ مُزنَهُ

    وَأَضحَت بَناتُ الماءِ فيها تَمَعَّجُ

    So the encampment’s dogs spent the night barking at its rain clouds,

    And by morning the water’s daughters were weaving to and fro within it.
