سُمْتَ السَّوَامَ به الحِمَامَ كأنَّما

أُخِذَتْ بِشَأْنٍ من ذوي الشَّنْآنِ

You directed the doves with it towards the pigeons as if

They had been accused of associating with the wicked

وتَبِعْتَها ذاتَ الجَنَاح كأنَّما

فَعَلَتْ جُناحاً قَبْلُ في الطَّيَرَانِ

And the winged ones followed them as if

They had flown before in the sky

حتى غَدَا حَمَلُ السَّمَاءِ وثَوْرُها

حَذِرَيْنِ مما حَلَّ بالحُمْلانِ

Until the burden of the sky and its raging

Became cautious of what befell the two burdens

نارٌ بأَرْجَاءِ المَرِيَّةِ سِقْطُها

مُزْرٍ ببيتِ النارِ في أَرْجَانِ

A fire whose sparks were in the pastures

Ambers in the home of fire among embers

فَلَوِ المَجُوْسُ تَجُوْسُ بين ديارِنا

أَمَتْ لَدَيْكَ عبادةَ النِّيْرَانِ

So if the Magi wandered between our homes

They would have perished before you, worshipping the fires
