1. The swaying branch in rhythm with the wind
As though caressed by the north's loving hand
١. والغصن مهزوزُ القوام كَانَّما
دارت عليه من الشمال شمولُ
2. While time seems like a beast stalking prey
You lights that pierce the darkness of its rule
٢. والدهرُ كالليل البهيم وأنتم
غُرَرٌ تنيرُ ظلامَه وحُجولُ
