كأنَّ الثريّا وقد جمّعت

كأنَّ الثريّا وقد جمّعت

كواكبَها والضيا مُقْبِلُ

كواكبَها والضيا مُقْبِلُ

As though the Pleiades, having gathered

As if the Pleiades when it had gathered

Its stars, with the light approaching,

Its stars, and the full moon draws near

فِراخُ قِطاط ترومُ الفِرا

فِراخُ قِطاط ترومُ الفِرا

ر وقد حام من فوقها الأجدلُ

ر وقد حام من فوقها الأجدلُ

Were sandgrouse chicks seeking to flee,

Chicks of partridges aspire to fly

While the falcon circled above them.

While above them darkness takes over
