1. The bull rejoiced and the flies buzzed
The hedgehog puffed up and the fish believed

2. The whale had faith and the arm, if it were truthful
The walnut testifies and the fish have borne witness

3. With the son of the Khaloof, the creation blossomed
The flowers remembered him and the buds acted

4. The river is his making and the anemones his creation
The bee knew him and the streams his grace

5. The branch his pen and the brooks his manuscript
The blossoms his prose and the gardens his words
