تَبدو المَجَرَّةَ مُنجَرٌّ ذَوائِبُها
كَالماءِ يَنساحُ أَو كَالأَيمِ يَنسابُ
The galaxy appears with flowing locks
Like water pouring down or tears that drop
وَزَهرَةٌ بِإِزاءِ البَدرِ واقِفَةٌ
كَأَنَّهُ غَرَضٌ يَنحوهُ نَشّابُ
A blossom standing by the full moon's glow
As if a youth were wooing it, head bent low
