ترى ليلنا شابت نواصيه كبرةً
كما شبت أم في الجو روض بهار
You see our night—its forelocks have grown white with age,
just as I have grown gray—or is there a garden of spring blossoms in the sky?
كان الليالي السبع في الأفق جمعت
ولا فضل فيما بينها لنهار
It was as though the seven nights had been gathered upon the horizon,
with no room left between them for daylight.
