1. The salt holder - how plentiful are its tools!
No salt for the ascetics and the devout.

2. As if its fine grains between them
Are beads of Roman musk from the sky.

3. As if the crystal salt atop it
Is silver that hasn't been cast.

4. As if the anab fruit on its surface
Is a Quran inscribed on parchment.

5. With Indian steel knives made in Muharraq
And refined Samsum cord from silk.

6. It looks like one who has folded his sleeves
When observed or described -

7. A thick mix of camphor in it
With grape pomace and musk.
