1. قُمْ سَقِّني والأفْقُ يَقْرَعُ بابَهُ

    مِنْ أوّلِ الفَجْرَيْنِ ضيْفٌ وارِدُ

    Rise, pour me a drink; at the horizon's door knocks

    a guest arriving from the first of the two dawns.

  2. وكأنّني بالصُّبحِ فيهِ عاطِساً

    مِنْ بعْدِ ما هَبّ الهَواءُ البارِدُ

    And it is as though I see the morning sneezing within it,

    after the cold wind has blown.
