And whenever someone seeks to rise to its heights—
No matter how he strives to extend his reach
Someone other than him—it reveals his shortcomings.
His shortcomings in it are revealed

And may it never cease adorning with gifts
It continues to adorn with gifts
The gardens of glory, or building its palaces.
The gardens of glory or building its palaces
