لَو شِئت مِما نِلت كُل عُلا

وَهتَكت كُل كَثيفَة السجفِ

Had you desired from what you gained every elevation

And penetrated every dense curtain

لرمَحت فينا بِالسماكِ ضُحىً

وأبَحتَ لبدكَ صَهوة الرّدفِ

You would have cast onto us in the morn a spear

And opened for your chest the field of pierce
