Cannot conceal who dwells within-
١. وبيت لبنات الجو
لا يستر من فيه
2. A guardian for the guarded one-
Yet cannot hide him in its depths.
٢. حفيظ للذي استحفظ
لكن لا يواريه
3. The pillars of silver recounted
and the perfume his bracelets.
٣. حكت أعمدة الفضة
والتبر سواريه
4. So who compares to the canal's course-
Its wealth and highest parts?
٤. فمن مثل قنا الخط
ثراه وأعاليه
