1. وأدهمَ كالغرابِ سوادُ لوْنٍ

    يطيرُ مع الرياحِ به جَناحُ

    And a black steed, raven-black in hue,

    A wing bears him aloft with the winds.

  2. كساهُ الليلُ شمْلَتَهُ وولّى

    فأقبلَ بين عينيْهِ الصَباحُ

    Night clothed him in its mantle and turned away;

    Then morning appeared between his eyes.
