اُنْظُر إِلَى الدَّبَرانِ فَوْقَ المُشْتَرِي

قَدْ ضُمَّ أَعْلاهُ وَفُتِّح أَسْفَلُه

Look at the fleecy clouds above Capricornus

Their tops are gathered and their bottoms spread

فَكَأَنَّهُ قَدْ هَابَ مِنْ شَمْسِ الضُّحَى

لَفْحاً فَأَلقَاهُ عَلَيْهِ يُظَلِّلُه

As though the dawn sun's heat made them recoil

And cast its shade to shelter them beneath
