We heard what you said in dreams

قد سمعنا ما قلت في الأحلام

And saw you in a vision during sleep

And the obtainment was equal to the words

There is no sleep with destruction

5. Open your eyelids and leave the words in sleep
And distinguish the speech of the sword of mankind

مِ وَمَيِّز خِطابَ سَيفِ الأَنامِ

An alternative or a protector of what he intended
