A tearer of tents, an ever-frequent enterer of doors,
The clashing of trefoil and twisting of doors,
He mingles firmness and gentleness with his kindness.
It mixes the sincere with the soft.
كَأَنَّas though نَزْوَthe leaping فِرَاخِbrain-fragments الهَامِof the heads بَيْنَهُمُamong them
كَأَنَّ نَزْوَ فِرَاخِ الهَامِ بَيْنَهُمُ
نَزْوُthe leaping القُلاَتِof the tipcat sticks زَهَاهَاsent them aloft قَالٌa player قَالِينَاplayers
نَزْوُ القُلاَتِ زَهَاهَا قَالٌ قَالِينَا
As though the brain-fragments leaping among them
As if the descent of the chicks of the doves among them,
Were tipcat sticks leaping, tossed aloft by a player vying with players.
Is the descent of necklaces - their beauty is chains.
