Translation

يَرفَعُ إلى العُلا ويَمْتَدُّ كَسَفِتْرِ حينَ يَرْفَعُ ذِراعَيْهِ؛ ويَشُدُّ مَجْرَيَيْهِ المُنيرَيْنِ، مُهَيْبًا، مُلَوِّنًا إيّاهُما إلى شِدَّةٍ لامِعَة. ويُسَيِّرُ الرِّداءَ المُتَأَلِّقَ ويُحَرِّكُه؛ ومن هذا العالَمِ يَطْرَحُ الأَغْطِيَةَ البالِيَةَ ويَلْبَسُ أَثْوابًا جُدُدًا مِنَ الأُمَّهاتِ.
