1. أَعَندَ اللَهِ لِلبَرقِ اليَماني

    يُضيءُ حَبِيَّ ذي سَقطَينِ داني

    Is there with God a reward for the Yemeni lightning,

    illuminating a nearby cloudbank with two trailing fringes?

  2. تَناهى المُزنُ وَاِستَرخَت عُراهُ

    بِبُرقَةِ ماسِلٍ ذاتِ الأَفانِ

    The rain clouds reached their fullness, and their bonds slackened

    at Māsil’s stony tract, with its afan plants.
