1. أُنْظُرْ إليهِ والأصيلُ مؤَرَّسٌ

    والشّمْسُ تُرْسِلُ منْ عِنانِ عَسيرِها

    Look at it, with late afternoon dyed yellow,

    and the sun slackening the reins of her unruly mount.

  2. فكأنّما هوَ زِئبَقٌ مترَجْرِجٌ

    ألْقَتْ علَيْهِ الشّمْسُ منْ إكْسيرِها

    It is as though it were quivering mercury,

    upon which the sun has cast some of her elixir.
