أُغضيI turn a blind eye وَلَوand if أَنّيthat I أَشاءُI wish كسوتُهُI would clothe him
أُغضي وَلَو أَنّي أَشاءُ كسوتُهُ
جَرَباًwith mange وكنتُand I would be لَهto him كشوكِlike the thorns of العرفَطِthe ‘urfut tree
جَرَباً وكنتُ لَه كشوكِ العرفَطِ
I turn a blind eye, though if I wished, I would clothe him
in mange, and be to him like the thorns of the ‘urfut tree.
Sol 6.1
