1. وكأنّ درعَكَ أُنشئت من مزنَةٍ

    فيكادُ أن يعشى بها المُستلئمُ

    And your coat of mail seems fashioned from a rain cloud,

    So the armor-clad man is nearly blinded by it.

  2. وكأنّهم مما تدانوا والتقوا

    رفٌ فتحسَبُها تهمُّ وتهجمُ

    And they seem, from how they have drawn close and come together,

    A flock—you think it is poised to move and rush forward.

  3. وكأنّ جسمَك من وراء حجابها

    دينٌ يشحُّ بهِ تقيُّ مُسلمُ

    And your body seems, behind its veil,

    A faith that a devout Muslim guards jealously.
