1. مِن كُلِّ سارِيَةٍ كَأَنَّ رَشاشَها

    إِبرٌ تُخَيِّطُ لِلرِياضِ بُرودا

    From every night-raining cloud, as though its spray

    Were needles sewing striped cloaks for the gardens.

  2. نَثَرَت فَرائِدَها فَنَظَّمَتِ الرُبى

    مِن دَرِّهِنَّ قَلائِداً وَعُقودا

    It scattered its precious pearls, and the hills then strung

    From their pearls, necklaces and beaded strands.
