1. دَنا رَجُلٌ إِلى عِرسٍ لِأَمرٍ

    وَذاكَ لِثالِثٍ خُلِقَ اِكتِسابُ

    A man drew near a wife for a purpose,

    And that was a gain for a third brought into being.

  2. فَما زالَت تُعاني الثُقلَ حَتّى

    أَتاها الوَضعُ وَاِتَّصَلَ الحِسابُ

    So she kept enduring the burden until

    Childbirth came to her, and the reckoning continued.

  3. نُرَدُّ إِلى الأُصولِ وَكُلُّ حَيٍّ

    لَهُ في الأَربَعِ القُدُمِ اِنتِسابُ

    We are returned to the origins, and every living being

    Has its lineage in the ancient four.
