الفَجرُ بَينَ اللَيلِ وَالصُبحِ

كَالعُذرِ بَينَ العَتبِ وَالصَفحِ

Dawn between night and morn

Is like excuse between blame and pardon

فَاِنعَم بِصَهباءٍ لَها مَنظَرٌ

جُملَتُهُ تُغني عَنِ الشَرحِ

So enjoy the bright clouds whose sight

Makes description redundant

فَالأَرضُ تُجلى بِالعُقودِ الَّتي

قَد نَظَّمَتها السُحبُ بِالسَحِّ

The earth is revealed in necklaces

Strung by clouds with dazzle

شَقيقُها ما بَينَ خَيرِيِّها

كَاللأَذبَينَ المُصمَتِ المُحّي

Its twin between its glories

Is like two silent, shy gazelles
