فَلَمّا قَرَعنا النَبعَ بِالنَبعِ بَعضَهُ
بِبَعضٍagainst another piece أَبَتrefused عيدانُهُits rods أَنto تَكَسَّراsplinter
بِبَعضٍ أَبَت عيدانُهُ أَن تَكَسَّرا
So when we struck nabʿ wood against nabʿ wood, one piece of it
When we struck spring against spring,
against another, its rods refused to splinter.
their reeds refused to break.
