1. A Christianity which before it was Mosaism
It told you stories far-removed is their proof
١. مَسيحِيَّةٌ مِن قَبلِها موسَوِيَّةٌ
حَكَت لَكَ أَخباراً بَعيداً ثُبوتُها
2. And a Persian who for it kindled fire and claimed
For its flames that their extinction was not permissible
٢. وَفارِسُ قَد شَبَّت لَها النارَ وَاِدَّعَت
لِنيرانِها أَن لا يَجوزُ خُبوتُها
3. So these days are but counterparts
Among which its units and stillness are equal
٣. فَما هَذِهِ الأَيّامُ إِلّا نَظائِرٌ
تَساوَت بِها آحادُها وَسُبوتُها
