आ यो वना तात्र्षाणो न भाति वार्ण पथा रथ्येवस्वानीत | कर्ष्णाध्वा तपू रण्वश्चिकेत दयौरिव समयमानो नभोभिः

IAST Romanisation

ā yo vanā tātṛṣāṇo na bhāti vārṇa pathā rathyevasvānīt | kṛṣṇādhvā tapū raṇvaściketa dyauriva smayamāno nabhobhiḥ

English Translation (Griffith)

Like one athirst, he lighteth up the forests; like water down the chariot ways he roareth. On his black path he shines in burning beauty, marked as it were the heaven that smiles through vapour.
