1. قُمْ سَقِّني والأفْقُ يَقْرَعُ بابَهُ

    مِنْ أوّلِ الفَجْرَيْنِ ضيْفٌ وارِدُ

    Rise, pour me a drink—the horizon's door is being knocked upon

    By a guest arriving from the first of the two dawns.

  2. وكأنّني بالصُّبحِ فيهِ عاطِساً

    مِنْ بعْدِ ما هَبّ الهَواءُ البارِدُ

    And I seem to see dawn sneezing within it,

    After the cold wind has blown.
