1. وَيَوْمِ أنْسٍ كَسَاهُ الغَيْمُ أرْدِيَةً

    مُلَوَّنَاتٍ كَأذْنَابِ الطَّوَاوِيسِ

    And many a day of delight the clouds clothed in robes,

    brightly colored like peacocks’ tails.

  2. وَالشَّمْس يَجْلُو سَنَاهَا الغَيْمُ إذْ سُتِرَتْ

    كَمَا انْجَلَتْ شَمْعَةٌ فِي ثَوْبِ فَانُوسِ

    And the sun—the clouds reveal her radiance when she is veiled,

    just as a candle shines forth within a lantern’s mantle.
