1. لم أنْسَ إذْ أهدَى النَّسِيمُ تحيَّةً

    رقصَتْ لها طَرَباً غصونُ الْبَانِ

    I have not forgotten when the breeze brought a greeting,

    and the boughs of the bān tree danced for joy at it.

  2. والسُّحْبُ قد نَسَجتَ رِداءً أدْكَناً

    والبَرْقُ مَكُّوكٌ من العِقْيانِ

    The clouds had woven a dusky mantle,

    and the lightning was crowned with pure gold.
