With a master like Zibriqan's master I bandaged him

ومولى كمولى الزبرقان دملته

1. With a master like Zibriqan's master I bandaged him
As a leg is bandaged which one moves with it and it is supple

١. وَمَولىً كَمَولى الزِبرِقان دَمَلتُه
كما دُمِلَت ساقٌ تُهاضُ بِها وَقرُ

2. When the specialists put splints above it
The time of healing comes, no mending of fracture or setting of bone

٢. إِذا ما أَحالَت وَالجَبائِرُ فَوقَها
أَتى الحَولُ لا بُرءٌ جُبَيرٌ وَلا كَسرُ

3. You see him as if God had smashed his nose
And his eyes, if his master was true to him and was kind

٣. تَراهُ كَأَنَّ اللَهَ يَجدَعُ أَنفَهُ
وَعَينَيهِ إِن مَولاهُ ثابَ لَهُ وَفرُ

4. You see harm has erased the circles of his face
Like scraping clay has erased its notches

٤. تَرى الشَرَّ قَد أَفنى دَوائِرَ وَجهِهِ
كَضَبِّ الكُدى أَفنى أَنامِلَهُ الحَفرُ
