شخصٌ له عجائبٌ لا تُحصَرُ
ومن عَجيبِ أمرِهِ ما نَذكُرُ
A person whose wonders cannot be encompassed,
and among his wondrous traits is what we now recount:
طورا يَكونُ ذَكرا وأُنثَى
طوراً وتارَةً يكونُ خُنثى
at one time he is male, and female
at another; and sometimes he is intersex.
وقد يكونُ تارةً جَمادَا
وحيواناً طوراً إن أَرادا
Sometimes he may be an inanimate thing,
and at another time an animal, if he so wishes.
ومُفرَدا حيناً يُبصَرُ
أَخا تَعَدُّدِ وذا لا يُنكَرُ
And at times he is seen as a single one,
a brother to plurality—and this cannot be denied.
