ما زال يَبْنِي خالِفٌ عن سالِفٍ
منهم ويُعْرِبُ آخِرٌ عن أوّلِ
A successor has never ceased building upon a predecessor
among them, each latter giving expression to the first:
بَيتٌ يَجُرُّ على المَجَرَّةِ ذَيْلَه
وندىً به عَزْلُ السِّماكِ الأعزلِ
a house that trails its hem across the Milky Way,
and bounty by which the unarmed Simāk is unseated.
