And a green sea in which my soul found itself and survived—
My soul found solace in his verdance and was saved
yet dread of it never leaves my heart.
His beauty never ceased to entrance my spirit

رغا وأزبدَ والنكباءُ تُغْضِبُهُ

It bellowed and foamed, the crosswind stirring its anger,
He foamed and frothed as misfortunes enraged him
as a demon toyed with one possessed.
As a demon toyed with one laid unconscious
