All prey in the belly of emptiness

Seeing neither you nor itself

م فلا تراك ولا ترى

It walked but backwards

Until what happened happened

حتى اعتراها ما اعترى

A distorted image between existence

شوهاء ما بين الورى

Going forward yet walking backwards

سبقا وتمشي القهقري

Between a star and the earth

بين الثريا والثرى
