وَقَفَت بِصَدر الباز وَالقَلب طائر

عَلى غُصن زاهٍ يَقل سَنا الشَمس

She stood with a falcon's chest and a soaring heart

On a blooming branch, shaded from the sun's rays

وَقَد صَفت الخَيل العِتاق عَشية

كَسَطرين مَمدودين في جانِبي طرس

And the horses were lined up in the evening

Like two lines stretched out on both sides of Tarsus
