وَقَد غَشِيَ النَبتُ بَطحاءَهُ
كَبَدوِlike the emergence of العِذارِthe cheek’s down بِخَدٍّon a cheek أَسيلِsmooth
كَبَدوِ العِذارِ بِخَدٍّ أَسيلِ
And vegetation has covered its pebbly plain,
The grass has covered its plains
like the first growth of down on a smooth cheek.
Like cheeks moist with flowing tears

إِلى الغَربِ بِطَرفٍ كَحيلِ
And the sun has turned away, hastening
And the sun has turned away hastily
toward the west with a kohl-darkened eye,
To the west with a sleepy eye

as though her radiance upon its river
As if its teeth on the river
were remnants of crimson blood on a polished sword.
Are the remnants of an army with polished swords
