وَكانَتِand she was كَبَرقٍlike lightning شامَتِwatched العَينُthe eye ضوءَهُits light
وَكانَتِ كَبَرقٍ شامَتِ العَينُ ضوءَهُ
وَلَمand did not تَدرِknow بَعدَafter الشيمِwatching the lightning أَينَwhere تَصوبُit turns
وَلَم تَدرِ بَعدَ الشيمِ أَينَ تَصوبُ
And she was like lightning whose gleam the eye watched;
Like lightning that dazzles the eye with its light
Yet, after watching, it knew not where to turn.
Yet where its splendor will strike, no one can know
Sol 6.1
