1. وكأنّ المُقاتلَ اغتاظَ حتّى

    أنفذَ الصُّبحَ بالتّقحّم طَعنا

    And it is as though the warrior grew enraged until

    he pierced the dawn with a headlong thrust.

  2. والسُّهى في بناتِ نعشٍ ضميرٌ

    بينَ أضلاعِها تَبّوأ كِنّا

    And Suhā among Banāt Naʿsh is a secret

    that has taken shelter between her ribs.
