وَلا أَقولُ لِقدرِ القَومِ قَد غَلِيَت

وَلا أَقولُ لِقدرِ القَومِ قَد غَلِيَت

وَلا أَقولُ لِبابِ الدارِ مَغلوقُ

وَلا أَقولُ لِبابِ الدارِ مَغلوقُ

Nor do I say to the clan’s cooking pot, “You have boiled.”

Nor do I say of the people's pot, "It has boiled."

Nor do I say to the house’s door, “You are shut.”

Nor do I say of the house's door, "It is closed."
