تغشىَ المَليكَ بعرشهِ وتَسوءُهُ
وَتَنالُand it draws منfrom دمهِhis blood ولاand not يَسطِعُهاhe strikes it
وَتَنالُ من دمهِ ولا يَسطِعُها
It besets the king upon his throne and vexes him,
It attacks a king on his throne and harms him
And draws his blood, yet he cannot strike it.
It drinks his blood and he cannot stop it
