1. I put this riddle to men: What black garments

    are newly made, yet not one of them stays new?

  2. Clouds cross the open desert—then thunderbolts,

    and life-giving rain, fierce parching winds, and cold.

  3. So too are the days: blessings and afflictions;

    Every rising wind, O Umaym, has its lull.
