1. When the kettledrum was struck, its skin was torn.
Its youth spilled out and flowed with disruption.

2. It seemed as though it and the trumpet drinking it
Were a grape vine running upon Muṣṭa‘bal.

3. Or like a sun in ‘Ādin or Shāsin
That showed its right side in the chests of Dharqal.

4. It coiled, and the lizards were its coilings.
Verily Zabarinqa is a tendril on a tendril.
