1. شعرها الليل جال فوق نهار

    من جبين عليه أظلم حاجب

    Her hair is night, sweeping over the daylight

    Of a forehead upon which rests the darkest eyebrow.

  2. لا الدجى ينجلي ولا الصبح يمحي

    عن في الليل والنهار عجائب

    Neither does the darkness clear nor the dawn fade;

    Wonders have appeared in the night and the day.
