بِهِ مِن نَجاءِ الغَيثِ بيضٌ أَقرَّها

بِهِ مِن نَجاءِ الغَيثِ بيضٌ أَقرَّها

جِبارٌ لَصُمِّ الصَخرِ فيها قراقِرُ

جِبارٌ لَصُمِّ الصَخرِ فيها قراقِرُ

There, white oryx—refugees from the rain—have been given rest

In it lie white pools from the rain’s outpouring, left there

by towering masses of solid rock, with level hollows among them.

By torrential rains, amid which the solid rocks rumble.
