1. غَرّاءُ جاءَتْ وأَطْرافُ الثّرَى يَبَسُ

    لكنّها انْصَرَفَتْ والنَّوْرُ مُنْغَمِسُ

    A radiant cloud came while the earth's reaches lay parched;

    Yet she departed with the blossoms drenched.

  2. تَسْرِي وللرِّيحِ في حَافَاتِها زَجَلٌ

    يُريِكَ ذهنُكَ أَنَّ الرِّزْقَ يَنْبَجِسُ

    She journeys by night, the wind clamoring at her fringes;

    Your mind shows you that sustenance is gushing forth

  3. في مَأْتَمٍ للحَيَا ما انْهَلَّ عارِضُهُ

    إلاَّ وفيهِ لأَبْكارِ الثّرَى عُرُسُ

    In a mourning gathering for rain: never does its cloud pour down

    But within it is a wedding feast for the earth's maidens.
