1. قل لي ما شيءٌ غدا قلبه

    معذباً بالبيض والسمر

    Tell me: what is the thing whose heart has become

    Tormented by white swords and brown spears,

  2. وكله في الأرض أو في السما

    وثلثه يسبح في البحر

    And all of it is on earth or in the sky,

    And a third of it swims in the sea?
