1. O you who tests the dead to learn if their essence remained
After the passage of time, from them as a remedy
١. يا ذائقَ الموتى لتعلم هل بَقُوا
بعد التَّقادُمِ منهمُ بدَواءِ
2. You have shown kindness and true faithfulness
If not for your accusation of the Creator of all things
٢. بَيَّنتَ عن رِعةٍ وصدقِ أمانةٍ
لولا اتهامُك خالقَ الأشياءِ
3. You thought that God was not able
To make the dead like the living
٣. أَحسبت أن الله ليس بقادر
أن يجعل الأمواتَ كالأحياءِ
4. And you assumed what you witnessed of His signs
Was by some subtle trickery of the wise
٤. وظننتَ ما شاهدتَ من آياته
بلطيفةٍ من حيلة الحكماءِ
