بالوحي تدرس صحفها الأخبار
Greet the dwellings, as though they were lines
The quarters are like lines
Of writing, whose pages the reports study [possibly a textual error for 'the scholars'].
Studied in revelation, their news scrolls

عرصاتها الأرواح والأمطار
Decay toyed with their freshness, and there breathed
The rain played in their newness and breathed
Through their courtyards the winds and rains.
Their yards the spirits and the rains
