وَمُنَسَّمِ الآذيِّ يُعنِقُ شَطُّهُ

وَمُنَسَّمِ الآذيِّ يُعنِقُ شَطُّهُ

من نكبةٍ هوجاءَ حُلّ وثاقُها

من نكبةٍ هوجاءَ حُلّ وثاقُها

And a sea with breeze-stirred surf, its shore galloping,

And tired of injury, its bank embraces

Driven by a raging crosswind whose tether was loosed.

Its surging flood unleashed from a huge disaster

وكأنَّما رأتِ الحِقاقَ فَعَجعَجَت

وكأنَّما رأتِ الحِقاقَ فَعَجعَجَت

فيها القرومُ وأزبدت أشداقها

فيها القرومُ وأزبدت أشداقها

And as though they had seen the young she-camels and bellowed—

As though it saw wrongdoing and was turbulent

The stud camels among them, their jaws foaming.

The skulls in it frothed and its jaws foamed
