1. The stars of night, as if fearing their dawn,
Have firmly resolved to set into the west;
١. كَأَنَّ نُجُومَ الليْلِ مِنْ خَوْفِ فَجْرِها
وَقَدْ جَدَّ مِنْها لِلْغُرُوبِ عَزائِمُ
2. Their lids, which yearning has kept awake, refuse sleep
So their eyes are wakeful slumberers.
٢. جُفُونٌ حَماها الشَّوْقُ أَنْ تَطْعَمَ الكَرى
فَأَعْيُنُها مُسْتَيْقِظَاتٌ نَوائِمُ
