ساريةٌ في الظَّلامِ مُهدِيةٌ
إلى النفوسِ الرَّدى بلا حَرَجِ
A night-wanderer in the darkness, bestowing
A guiding light in the darkness
Death upon souls without compunction;
Leading weary souls without reproach
شائلةٌ في ذنيبِها حُمَةً
كأنها سبْجةٌ من السَّبَجِ
Holding aloft a venomous sting in her little tail,
Trailing behind her a veil of modesty
As though she were a bead of jet.
As though a bracelet of sabij
