1. بِتُّ بِجُهدٍ ساهِرَ الأَجفانِ

    يَلدَغُ جِلدي شَرَرُ النيرانِ

    I spent the night in distress, my eyelids sleepless;

    Sparks of fire were stinging my skin,

  2. مِن طائِرٍ زَمَّرَ في الآذانِ

    مِنَ الدِماءِ مُترَعٍ مَلآنِ

    From a flying creature that piped in my ears,

    Brimming, full of blood.
