لو زُرتَنا لَرَأيتَ ما لَم تَعهَدِ

ذَوبَ اللجَينِ خَليطَ ذَوبِ العَسجَدِ

Had you visited us, you'd have seen what you haven't seen before

The mixture of melting snow and molten lead

نُطُفٌ يُجمّلُها فَقاقِعُ مِنهُ ما

جَمَدَت لِتَحفَظ جِسمَ ما لَم يَجمَدِ

Drops beautified by bubbles, some of which

Have solidified to preserve a body not yet solidified
