ألَمْ تَر لِلْخُسوفِ وكيف أوْدى
بِبَدْرِ التّمّ لَمّاع الضّياء
Have you not seen the eclipse, and how it struck down
the full moon, radiant with gleaming light—
كمِرآةٍ جَلاها الصّقْل حتّى
أنارَتْ ثُمّ رُدَّتْ في غِشَاء
like a mirror burnished by polishing until
it shone, then was shrouded once more?
Sol 5.6
