Step toward the full moon of darkness, and be gentle
Come slowly, O light of the evening star, be gentle
With your eyes, for light may cause blindness.
With your eyes, for brightness may cause blindness
ولاand do not تعجباًmarvel, you two أنthat يملكpossess العبدthe slave ربهhis master
ولا تعجباً أن يملك العبد ربه
فإنfor indeed الدمىthe idols استعبدنhave enslaved منthe one who نحتcarved الدمىthe idols
فإن الدمى استعبدن من نحت الدمى
And do not marvel that the slave should possess his master,
Be not amazed if the servant rules his lord
For idols have enslaved the one who carved them.
For statues have enslaved those who carved statues
