كَأَنَّها وَقَد بَدا عُوارِضُ

وَفاضَ مِن إيرٍ بِهِنَّ فائِضُ

As if when its hills had appeared

And a flood from it had overflowed abundantly

وَقِطقِطٌ حَيثُ يَخوضُ الخائِضُ

وَاللَيلُ بَينَ قَنَوينِ رابِضُ

And blackened wherever the swimmer swims

And the night sitting between two crouching hills

بِجَلهَةِ الوادي قَطاً نَواهِضُ

With fireflies dancing in the valley's stillness
