1. تَذارَعنَ بِالأَيدي مِنَ الغَورِ بَعدَما

    تَقَدَّمَ عِرنينٌ مِنَ اللَيلِ مائِلُ

    They stretched their forelegs in stride from al-Ghawr, after

    night’s slanting nose had advanced.

  2. فَما عَمَّمَتها الشَمسُ حَتّى رَأَيتُها

    بِنَجدٍ تُساميها النِجادُ القَوابِلُ

    The sun had not yet turbaned them when I saw them

    in Najd, the facing ridges vying with them in height.
