تذيع ما استخفيت فيه وتبديه
And a white-hued one—we entrusted it with clear wine,
Pure white in color we left it
Revealing what you concealed within it and laying it bare.
It broadcasts what I concealed in it and expresses it

As though it were hail, for which the air fashioned
As if it were a coolness that molded the air for it
Shelters from the rain’s saliva to protect it.
From the saliva of drops we protected it in bosoms
