1. Like a whale in its devouring,
The treasury cannot satisfy its craving,

2. For trinkets or for suckling it,
Men's water is the limit of its suckling.

3. Ubaydullah bellows because of its milking,
Capacious in the rents of its patches,

4. So the earth is like a region of its regions
If it were measured it would tear at its cubits

5. Thus he is generous of spirit against depriving it
Would that his eyes had, of its wideness,

6. What his desire has of its bowl and basin.
