1. تَسمَعُ الرَعدَ في المَخيلَةِ مِنها

    كَهَديرِ القُرومِ في الأَشوالِ

    You hear thunder in its rain-promising cloud,

    like the bellowing of stallion camels among nearly dry she-camels.

  2. وَتَرى البَرقَ عارِضاً مُستَطيراً

    مَرَحَ البُلقِ جُلنَ في الإِجلالِ

    And you see lightning flashing across, spreading wide,

    like the frolicking of piebald horses wheeling in their horsecloths.
