He has indeed delivered his recitation and completed
He recited it and was true to
His reading for our master—this little boy.
His reading for our Master Bani

صغيرٌ وهو إذ يتلو كبيرٌ
فماso not أدرِيI know بنيّa little boy أوor أبيّUbayy
فما أدرِي بنيّ أو أبيّ
He is small, yet great when he recites;
Though small as he recites, he is great
So I cannot tell: a little boy, or Ubayy?
So I know not if he is my son or father
