وجُندُبةٍ تمشي بساقٍ كأنَّه
على فَخِدٍ كالعُودِ منشارُ عرعرِ
And a grasshopper walks on a shank as though it were
A gerboa walks on legs as though they were
a saw for juniper upon a thigh like a rod;
A saw on a thigh like a plank of Ūd wood
مُكتَّبةٍ تجلو الجَناحَ كأنَّها
عروسٌ تجلَّت في عِطافٍ مُعنبَرِ
Patterned like script, she reveals her wing as though she were
Decorated, spreading its wings as though it were
a bride unveiled in an ambergris-scented mantle.
A bride revealed in embroidered finery
