قَصباتُهُ مُمتدَّةٌ قُدّامهُ

يَعلو عَلى السُّحُبِ العوالِ دُخانُها

Its chimneys stand tall before it

Its smoke rises above the high clouds

قَد خِلتُها مِثلَ الرِّماحِ وَإِنّها

في الهمِّ تَطعنُ وَالدّخانُ سِنانُها

I see them like spears though they

Stab worries while the smoke shows their teeth
