1. With urine his hunger turns the floor to swamp
Yellowed by the length of its stagnant dwelling
١. بِسَمْنانَ بَوْلُ الجوع مستنقِعاً به
قَدِ اصْفَرَّ من طولِ الإقامةِ حائِلُهْ
2. A third by the window, a third on the mat
His family settled by the upper wall
٢. بُبرقانه ثُلْثٌ وبالخَرْتِ ثلثُه
وبالحائطِ الأعلى أقامتْ عيائِلُهْ
3. Above his eyes a yellowness as though
Remnants of the horizon's glow, night covering him
٣. له صُفرةٌ فوق العيونِ كأنها
بقايا شعاع الأفْقِ والليلُ شاملُهْ
