Our age is overwhelmed with falsehood since its people went astray

طغى دهرنا بالشبه مذ ضل أهله

1. Our age is overwhelmed with falsehood since its people went astray
With this falsehood, indeed God has no likeness

١. طغى دهرُنا بالشبه مذ ضل أهلُهُ
بذا الشبهِ إن اللَه ليس له شِبْهُ

2. The pigeons of ignorance cooed and an ignorant man was deceived
And did not realize it was his own foolish pigeons that deceived him

٢. وناحت حَمام الجهل فانغشَّ جاهلٌ
ولم يدر من غَشَّت حمائمُهُ البُلهُ

3. So his life's events started whispering to him
With their brimming cups and exhilarating rests

٣. فباتت تناجيه حوادثُ دهره
بكاساتها الملأى وراحاتُها شُدْهُ

4. The cups leaned towards him with their familiarity
To a morning drink and events that frolic

٤. ومالت بعطفيه القيانُ بعَرفها
إلى صبوةٍ تلهو وأحداثُها تزهو

5. Since the intoxication of vanity has evaporated and faded
He saw the age as nothing and it has no essence

٥. فَمُذْ هَبَّ من سُكر الخَبال ورَوقه
رأى الدهر لاشيئاً وليس له كُنه

6. It has no face and he had thought in his ignorance
That its whole beauty was its face

٦. وليس له وجهٌ وقد ظن جهلَه
على أنه من حسنه كله وجه
