What is the number whose half is half of its double?

ما عدد مثل ضعفه نصفه

1. What is the number whose half is half of its double?
Dew falls on his soft palm, his palm.

١. ما عَدَد مِثلُ ضِعفِهِ نِصفُه
تَندى عَلى لينِ كَفِّهِ كَفُّه

2. Water is his life yet it is his demise.
How strange that the very water sustains yet destroys him.

٢. حَياتُهُ الماءُ وَهوَ مِيتَتُهُ
فَاِعجَب لِشَيءٍ حَياتُهُ حَتفُه

3. He marches under the banner, steadfast,
With every protector, his tip is his edge.

٣. يَسيرُ تَحتَ اللِواءِ مُعتَصِماً
بِكُلِّ حامٍ سِنانُهُ طَرفُه

4. Half of him is inscribed with Quran while
Never devoid of harm and enchantment is his other half.

٤. يُكتَبُ في نِصفِهِ القُرانُ وَلا
يَخلو مِنَ الدورِ وَالغِنا نصفُه
