And in her lap he seems a child of her own;
And it is as though he were a child of hers in her lap;
she bends tenderly over him at every moment,
She is tender toward him at every moment.

أَبداً تدغدِغُ بطنَه فاذا هفا
عركتْshe twisted لهfor him أُذناًan ear مِنَof الاذانِthe ears

forever tickling his belly; whenever he falters,
Always she tickles his belly, and when he falters,
she gives one of his many ears a twist.
She twists one of his ears.
