1. How many a parent denies his children
While strangers enjoy this bounty unfurled
١. كَم والِدٍ يَحرِمُ أَولادَهُ
وَخَيرُهُ يَحظى بِهِ الأَبعَدُ
2. Like the eye that sees not what surrounds it
Yet its glance can reach what's distantly furled
٢. كَالعَينِ لا تُبصِرُ ما حَولَها
وَلَحظُها يُدرِكُ ما يبعدُ
