ومستوقف لجلوس الحضور
على أربع في الثرى موثقة
And something set in place for those present to sit upon,
On four supports firmly secured in the soil.
يمد على فرعه مفرشا
ويظهر في خصر منطقه
It stretches a covering over its branch,
And displays its girdle at the waist.
فمن شاء صيره مقعدا
ومن شاء صيره مرفقه
So whoever wishes makes it a seat,
And whoever wishes makes it his elbow-rest.
إذا ظل ينشد ما قد طواه
أرى الحاضرين بما أوسقه
When it keeps reciting what it had already folded away,
It shows those present what it had been laden with:
صليبي جديد ازاءين في
عموةد وتعلوهما مشرقه
Two new crosspieces, facing one another, in
A column, with a sunlit place above them [wording uncertain].
