وَالشعريان مِثل عَين أَعور
أَوor قَمَراًa moon جاوَرَstood beside شَمساًa sun فَخَفىand so was hidden
أَو قَمَراً جاوَرَ شَمساً فَخَفى
And the two Dog Stars are like the eye of a one-eyed man,
Or a moon that stood beside a sun and was hidden,
أَوor كَسِراجينlike two lamps بَينَbetween ذاthis وَذاand that
أَو كَسِراجين بَينَ ذا وَذا
قَدindeed كادَwas about أَنto يَطفأgo out أَوor قَدalready اِنطَفىwent out
قَد كادَ أَن يَطفأ أَو قَد اِنطَفى
Or like two lamps, between this state and that:
Almost going out, or already extinguished.
Sol 6.1
