كَأَنَّ سَنا خَط المَجَرة بِينَها
تَرقرق ماءٍ بَينَ نُواره جار
As though the radiance of the Milky Way’s path among them
were the rippling of flowing water among its blossoms;
كَأَنَّ يَد الجَوزاء مِن لَمع برقها
تَهز صَفيحاً أَو تشب سَنا نار
as though Orion’s hand, amid the flashes of its lightning,
were brandishing a blade, or kindling a fire’s blaze.
Sol 5.6
