1. Hot embers we had kindled at dawn
I toiled till I almost quenched their light
١. جمرٌ هجيرٌ مذ صُلِينَا به
عَرقْتُ حتى كِدْت أُطْفِيهِ
2. When the sun filled the sky with her blaze
She almost hid them from sight
٢. والشمس لما ملأَت أُفْقَها
كادت عَنِ الأَبصَارِ تخفيه
3. A person's shadow fleeing the heat
You'd think it hiding within
٣. يهربُ ظلُّ الشَّخْصِ من حرِّها
حتى تراه كَامِناً فِيهِ
