1. See how truthful the winds have been
They have devastated the chamber and shelter
١. أَلا تَرى ما أَصدَقَ الأَنواءَ
قَد أَفنَتِ الحَجرَةَ وَاللَأواءَ
2. If you were to squeeze a rock it would become water
From a night we spent with a tender companion
٢. فَلَو عَصَرتَ الصَخرَ صارَ ماءَ
مِن لَيلَةٍ بِتنا بِها لَيلاءَ
3. If it comes back as a night of separation
The earth will become, then, a sky
٣. إِن هِيَ عادَت لَيلَةً عِداءا
أَصبَحَتِ الأَرضُ إِذَن سَماءَ
