But his hide is covered with hair.
The cat will inhabit a house to the end,
But her hide is covered with hair.
The camel excels in a number of ways,
The Arab accords him continual praise,
He can go without drinking for several days—
But his hide is covered with hair.
Chorus:
Oh! I thank my God for this at the least,
I was born in the west and not in the east!
