رَوابي القاشِ مُذهَبَةُ الخِيامِ

مُرَصَّعَةُ الأَجِلَّةِ بِالرِهامِ

My tents with gilded streaks adorned,

Embroidered with pearls like stars that shone,

وَلاذُ البَرقِ قَد نادى عَلَيهِ

مُنادي الرَعدِ في سوقِ الغَمامِ

Where lightning sought shelter and cried aloud,

Harkened by thunder in the clouds abode,

فَفُضَّ خِتامَ دَنِّكَ عَن عَقيقٍ

يُحَسِّنُ لَمعَهُ سَبَجُ الظَلامِ

The seal to your affection then unbind,

As darkness makes the gems more fair designed,

فَسَقفُ الجَوِّ قَد دَلّى عَلَينا

سَلاسِلَهُ الخَفِيّاتِ اللِحامِ

The roof of sky has let down on us,

Its hidden chains all gleaming bright at dusk.
