1. تَفَوَّهَ دَهرُكُم عَجَباً فَأُصغوا

    إِلى ما ظَلَّ يُخبِرُ يا شُهودُ

    Your age has uttered a marvel, so listen

    To what it keeps recounting, O witnesses.

  2. إِذا اِفتَكَرَ الَّذينَ لَهُم عُقولٌ

    رَأَوا نَبَأً يَحُقُّ لَهُ السُهودُ

    When those endowed with reason reflect,

    They discern news that warrants sleeplessness.

  3. غَدا أَهلُ الشَرائِعِ في اِختِلافٍ

    تُقَضُّ بِهِ المَضاجِعُ وَالمُهودُ

    The followers of religious laws have fallen into discord,

    Which disturbs beds and cradles.

  4. فَقَد كَذَبَت عالى عيسى النَصارى

    كَما كَذَبَت عَلى موسى اليَهودُ

    For the Christians have lied about Jesus,

    Just as the Jews have lied about Moses.

  5. وَلَم تَستَحدِثُ الأَيّامُ خُلُقاً

    وَلا حالَت مِنَ الزَمَنِ العُهودُ

    And the days have introduced no new disposition,

    Nor have the epochs of time changed.
