1. وَمُعتَرَكٍ لِلوَصلِ يُجلى عَجاجُهُ

    بِبَطحاءَ قَومٍ عَن قَتيلٍ وَقاتِلِ

    A battlefield for reunion made clear by the croaking of its frogs

    In the lowlands of a people mourning their dead and their killer

  2. وَأَكثَرُ ما يُلقى بِهِ غِبَّ نَومِهِ

    سِقاطُ اللَآلي أَو فُصومُ الخَلاخِلِ

    And most disturbing its sleep are the falling stars

    Or the clinking of anklets
