أَما تَرى أَعيُنَ النَوارِ ناظِرَةً

تَرنو إِلَيكَ بِأَحداقٍ وَأَجفانِ

Don't you see the eyes of the wildcat staring

Yearningly at you with pupils and eyelids

وَالأَرضُ في حُلَلٍ مِن أَمرِها عَجَبُ

لَيسَت بِصيغَة إِنسيّ وَلا جانِ

And the earth in robes of wonder about her state

Not fashioned in human or jinn style

حاكَ السَحابُ لها ثَوباً وَأَلحَمَهُ

نَوعَينِ من لُؤلُؤ رَطبٍ وَمَرجانِ

The clouds have woven a garment and joined it

With two kinds of moist pearls and coral
