يعاوص دنياه من لا يرى

رخاوة طينته الباليه
He contends with his world who does not see
He who sees not his life's thorns
the softness of his worn-out clay.
Will find no yield in efforts worn
اذاwhen ارغمhumbles البردthe cold خرطومهhis snout
اذا ارغم البرد خرطومه

ارانا له كتفا عاليه
When the cold humbles his snout,
When wintry chill freezes his snout
he shows us a shoulder of his held high.
Think you his shoulders stand stout?
