The parallel might work better if {naSbej maH} {manaS maH}.
Just a thought. Poetry probably makes it okay to drop the
prefix, though, being the grammatical stickler than I am...

Would it hurt much to slide a {-lu'} in front of {-Qo'}?

It is difficult to express the degree to which this song
impresses the hell out of me. Meter and rhyme without
distorting the language....
