If a pot could weep for how long it had been kept
If a pot could weep from being locked away
dry, the pot of Ibn Jayyār would weep.
For so long on the shelves, the pot of Ibn Jayyar
ماnot مَسَّهاtouched it دَسَمٌfat مُذsince فُضَّwas opened مَعدِنُهاits mine
ما مَسَّها دَسَمٌ مُذ فُضَّ مَعدِنُها
وَلاnor رَأَتhas it seen بَعدَafter عَهدِthe time of القَينِthe smith مِنany نارِfire
وَلا رَأَت بَعدَ عَهدِ القَينِ مِن نارِ
No fat has touched it since its mine was opened,
Would weep. No fat has touched it since its ore was cast,
nor has it seen any fire since its days with the smith.
Nor has it seen fire since the days of the oven stirrer.
Sol 6.1
