كَأَنَّas though أَجالَناour appointed deaths صُقورfalcons
كَأَنَّ أَجالَنا صُقور

وَنَحنُ مِن تَحتِها خَشاشُ
It is as though our appointed deaths were falcons,
As if our lives are hawks
It is as though our fated times are hawks,
And we, beneath them, were little birds.
And we are sparrows beneath them
And we are creeping things beneath them.
Sol 6.1
