1. وَقَد غَدَوتُ وَصُبحُ اللَيلِ مُنتَقِصٌ

    وَغَرَّةُ الصُبحِ مَصقولٌ حَواشيها

    And I set out early, with the night’s dawn incomplete,

    And morning’s bright brow burnished along its edges.

  2. وَغَرَّبَت أَنجُمُ الظُلَماءِ وَاِنحَدَرَت

    فَشالَ أَرجُلُها وَاِنحَطَّ أَيديها

    And the stars of the dark night moved westward and descended,

    So their feet rose and their hands sank.
