1. بشر بالصبح كوكب الصبح

    فاضحى وجنح الدجى كلا جنح

    The morning star heralded the dawn.

    So it entered morning, with night's wing as though no wing remained.

  2. فهو على الفجر كالسنان هوى

    للعين كما هوى على رمح

    So above the dawn it is like a spearhead that has fallen

    Before the eye, as it has fallen onto a spear.
