4 | Out of anger and anger, she throws sparks at criminals | ||||||||||||||||||||||

20 | His command is one, like the blink of an eye | ||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | A ship made of planks of salvation and protection | ||||||||||||||||||||||
22 |

23 | Spirits drive her to the command of a powerful King | ||||||||||||||||||||||
24 | Al-Jood sent it down to Al-Judi, and they said, “There is no burden'” | ||||||||||||||||||||||
25 | The truth called out to them, get out of it, I am the sinner | ||||||||||||||||||||||
26 | They put it down and said, “Our Lord, you have the blessings of stability'” | ||||||||||||||||||||||
27 |
| *** |
| ||||||||||||||||||||
28 | And you, O land, swallow your water, store it, and monopolize it | ||||||||||||||||||||||
29 | The matter has been decided, so whoever is an enemy has been dusted | ||||||||||||||||||||||
30 | I left it as a reminder to you, so is there anyone who remembers? | ||||||||||||||||||||||
31 |

46 | I said, "See where she went?" He said, "She went, fulfilling the state of affairs'" | ||||||||||||||||||||||
47 | I said, “You see her grazing'” He said, “Yes, at dawn'” | ||||||||||||||||||||||
48 | I said, “Do you know her?” He said, “Yes, sister of the moon'” | ||||||||||||||||||||||
49 | I said: On whom was it revealed? He said: On Abi Al-Bishr | ||||||||||||||||||||||
50 | I said, “What do you want?” He said, “Darba'” | ||||||||||||||||||||||
51 | Only my mother, the mother of humanity, knows the secret | ||||||||||||||||||||||
52 | She says give me more money, boy, and what a good laboratory | ||||||||||||||||||||||
53 | I kissed her, hugged her, and untied the knots of the buttons | ||||||||||||||||||||||
