قَالُوا أَبُو أَحْمَدٍ يَبْنِي فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ

كَمَا بَنَتْ ذَرَّةٌ بَيْتَاً مِنَ السَّدَقِ
They said, “Abu Ahmad is building,” so I said to them:
“As a tiny ant built a house of [unclear material].
بَنَتْهُit built it حَتَّىuntil إِذَاwhen تَمَّwas completed البِنَاءُthe building لَهَاfor it
بَنَتْهُ حَتَّى إِذَا تَمَّ البِنَاءُ لَهَا
كَانَwas البِنَاءُthe building وَوَشْكُand the imminence of البَيْنِparting فِيin نَسَقِsuccession
كَانَ البِنَاءُ وَوَشْكُ البَيْنِ فِي نَسَقِ
It built it until, when its building was complete,
The building and imminent parting came in close succession.”
