1. بِعَين الشَمس قَد جَلَس الشُيوخ

    وَقالَ كَبيرهم لَهُمُ أَنيخوا

    In the sun’s full glare the old men sat.

    And their elder said to them, “Settle down.”

  2. طَبيعَتهم كَعين الغول صردا

    بِعَين الشَمس تثبت لا تَبوخُ

    Their constitution, cold as the ghoul’s eye,

    Holds firm in the sun’s full glare and does not abate.
