1. وابنُ السماءِ ينيرُ مطْلَعُهُ

    فَيَسُرّ مَوْلِدُهُ بني الأرْضِ

    And the son of the sky—his rising-place shines;

    so his birth gladdens the sons of the earth.

  2. فكَأَنَّهُ في أُفْقِهِ ضِلَعٌ

    نَحِلَتْ وقد عَرِيتْ منَ النحضِ

    So, on his horizon, he is like a rib

    grown thin and stripped bare of flesh.
