أو أنجم طلعت في أوسط الشفقِ
As though it were clouds appearing at eventide,
It is like clouds appearing in the late afternoon,
or stars rising in the very midst of twilight;
Or stars rising in the midst of twilight.

يخالها الطرف تحجيلاً بصافنةٍ
أوor المجرةthe Milky Way لولاwere it not for صبغةthe tint of الزرقِblue
أو المجرة لولا صبغة الزرقِ
the eye takes it for white leg markings on a mare poised with one hoof raised,
The eye takes it for white stockings on a poised mare,
or for the Milky Way, but for its azure dye.
Or the Milky Way, were it not for the blue tint.
Sol 6.1
