ووصائِفٍ صُفّتْ على ذِي أرْبَعٍ

ممّا عُنِي بِصَنيعِهِ النَّجَّارُ

And descriptions lined up on four legs

Of that which the carpenter took pains with his craft

وَسَمَتْ سُمُوّ الرّيحِ في لَبّاتِها

فَتَحَيّرَتْ في حُسْنِها الأبْصَارُ

And reached the height of the wind in its folds

So eyes were confounded by its beauty

فكأنّما آذانُهُنَّ صَوَالِجٌ

وكأنّما أقدامُها أقْمَارُ

As though their ears were pendants

And their feet were moons
