ولمand did not ألقfind فيin بيتيmy house دثاراًa blanket أُعدُّهُI keep it ready
ولم ألق في بيتي دثاراً أُعدُّهُ
لبردٍagainst cold ولاnor شيءanything يردُّwards off هجيراmidday heat
لبردٍ ولا شيء يردُّ هجيرا
And I found no blanket in my house to keep ready
I have not kept at home a blanket to protect
against the cold, nor anything to ward off the midday heat.
Against the cold, nor anything to repel the bitter wind.
فأنفخso I puff out شِدقيmy cheek إنif أردتَyou want وسادةًa pillow
فأنفخ شِدقي إن أردتَ وسادةً
وأفرشand I spread out ظلِّيmy shadow إنif أردتyou want حصيراa mat
وأفرش ظلِّي إن أردت حصيرا
So I puff out my cheek if you want a pillow,
So blow into my cheek if you want a pillow,
and spread out my shadow if you want a mat.
And spread out my shadow if you want a mat.
