1. رَعَى اللهُ ثَنِيَّاتِ الْقِبَابِ

    وَرَوَّضَهَا بِأَنْدَاءِ السَّحَابِ

    May God guard the mountain passes of the domed tents,

    And make them verdant with the clouds' dew.

  2. نُجُومٌ فِي خِيَامٍ مُشْرِقَاتٌ

    كَنُورِ الشَّيْبِ فِي حَلَكِ الشَّبَابِ

    Stars shining in tents,

    Like the light of gray hair in the blackness of youth.
