ومجدولة مثل رأس القناة

ومجدولة مثل رأس القناة

تعرث رباطنها مكتسي

تعرث رباطنها مكتسي

And a braided one, like the head of a lance,

And a braided one, like the point of a spear,

whose bands wind in curves, while covered over;

Stripped bare, while its inside is clothed (reading uncertain).

فنحن من النور في أسعد

فنحن من النور في أسعد

وتلك من النار في أنحس

وتلك من النار في أنحس

we, from the light, are in the happiest state,

So we are most fortunate because of the light,

while that one, from the fire, is in the direst.

And that one is most ill-fated because of the fire.
