Many a night the pearls of my tears came unstrung
Within it, until the pearls of the Pleiades came unstrung;
وِرداءُand the cloak of الدُجىdarkness لَبيسwell-worn دريسthreadbare
وِرداءُ الدُجى لَبيس دريس
بيدin the hand of الصُبحdawn وَهُوَwhile it يَطويهfolds it طَيّاa thorough folding
بيد الصُبح وَهُوَ يَطويه طَيّا
And the cloak of darkness was worn and threadbare
In dawn's hand, as it folded it away.
