1. Though you thought it long,
You measured it in length and breadth.

2. The son of Harb was generous to me with it
After he was certain it was thoroughly worn out.

3. It has met people and experienced
Two lives of hardship and degradation.

4. It is as if my care for it, when
It goes out, is care for my honor.

5. If only it were a human being,
It would be God's captive on earth.
