وَلَيلٍ كَكُحلِ العَينِ خُضتُ ظَلامَهُ

بِأَزرَقَ لَمّاعٍ وَأَبيَضَ صارِمِ

And to a night like kohl in the eyes I endured its darkness

With shimmering blue and piercing white

وَطَيّارَةٍ بِالرَحلِ حَرفٍ كَأَنَّها

تُصافِحُ رَضراضَ الحَصى بِجَّماجِمِ

And a plane with journeys a letter as though it

Greets the clatter of pebbles with skulls
