كأن أعينها من طول ما جشمت

سير الهواجر زيت في قواريرِ

As if her eyes from so much gazing

At the migrants' trails were oil in flasks

اذا ونت ذاتُ أذيال تذيع به

قالت لاخرى كغيري أغضبت دوري

If she whose trailing robes would spread the scent

Said to another, "Like me you have angered my home!"

كأن مختلف الأرواح بينهما

فيها ملاعب أبكار معاصيرِ

As if the spirits between them

Were girls at play there with their anklet bells
