وقوارة من أديم الصخور

وقوارة من أديم الصخور

تخيم في حلل الخيزران

تخيم في حلل الخيزران

And a cleaving blade from the skin of the rocks,

And a round, hollowed vessel from the skin of rocks

encamps in robes of bamboo.

Encamps in robes of bamboo.

تفري قطاعا كعرف الحبيب

تفري قطاعا كعرف الحبيب

وترقى وليس بها مس جان

وترقى وليس بها مس جان

It cuts through highwaymen like a beloved’s fragrance,

It cleaves pieces like the beloved’s fragrance,

and incantations are recited over it, though no jinn has touched it.

And is charmed, though no jinn possesses it.

وتمنع عن مثل حر القلوب

وتمنع عن مثل حر القلوب

من الجمر ما ان لها من دخان

من الجمر ما ان لها من دخان

It wards away from one such as a noble-hearted man

And shields against heat like the burning of hearts—

embers that have no smoke.

From embers; it has no smoke at all.
