1. Does spring hope its flowers will bring good
When its mature ones have wearied?
١. أَتَرجو رَبيعٌ أَن يَجيءَ صِغارُها

2. The night companions chatter as if
They were goats whose owner has lost them.
٢. عُتُلّونَ صَخّابو العَشِيِّ كَأَنَّهُم
جِداءٌ مِنَ المِعزى شَديدٌ يَعارُها
3. When the star rises to meet the sun's setting
The pots in Ubayd's dwelling start boiling, with the neighbor complaining of the smoke.
٣. إِذا النَجمُ وافى مَغرِبَ الشَمسِ حارَدَت
مَقاري عُبَيدٍ وَاِشتَكى القِدرَ جارُها
