تَلوحُ الثُرَيّا وَالظَلامُ مُقَطِّبُ

فَيَضحَكُ مِنها عَن أَغَرَّ مُفَلَّجِ

The Pleiades twinkle as darkness deepens

And the he frowns in laughter, teeth flashing white

تَسيرُ وَراءً وَالهِلالُ أَمامَها

كَما أَومَأَت كَفَّ إِلى نِصفِ دُملُجِ

She moves behind as the crescent moon leads ahead

Beckoning with a hand like the glow of an ember
