1. وَمُزنَةٍ جادَ مِن أَجفانِها المَطَرُ

    فَالرَوضُ مُنتَظِمٌ وَالقَطرُ مُنتَثِرُ

    And rain poured lavishly from a raincloud's eyelids;

    So the garden is arrayed, while the raindrops are scattered.

  2. تَرى مَواقِعَها في الأَرضِ لائِحَةً

    مِثلَ الدَراهِمِ تَبدو ثُمَّ تَستَتِرُ

    You see their landing spots gleaming on the earth,

    Like dirhams, appearing, then vanishing.

  3. ما زالَ يَلطُمُ خَدَّ الأَرضِ وابِلُها

    حَتّى رَقَت خَدَّها الغُدرانُ وَالخُضَرُ

    Its downpour kept slapping the earth's cheek,

    Until pools and greenery cast healing charms upon her cheek.
