ما للجآذر تتَّقيك عيونُها

ما للجآذر تتَّقيك عيونُها

بخدودِها ولقد تراك فتُومضُ

بخدودِها ولقد تراك فتُومضُ

Why do the young antelopes’ eyes shield themselves from you

Why do the roots fear you, their eyes

With their cheeks, though they do see you and then blink?

With their cheeks, though they see you in a daze
