1. ما أَقدَرَ اللَهَ أَن يُدعى بَرِيَّتُهُ

    مِن تُربِهِم فَيَعودا كَالَّذي كانوا

    How mighty is God, that His creatures may be summoned

    from their dust and return as they once were!

  2. وَتودَعُ الناسَ في بَطنِ الثَرى نُوَبٌ

    خَفضٌ وَرَفعٌ وَتَحريكٌ وَإِسكانُ

    And vicissitudes consign people to the belly of the earth:

    lowering and raising, setting in motion and bringing to rest.

  3. إِن كانَ رَضوى وَقُدسٌ غَيرَ دائِمَةٍ

    فَهَل تَدومُ لِهَذا الشَخصِ أَركانُ

    If Radwa and Quds are not everlasting,

    then will the pillars of this body endure?

  4. ما أَحسَنَ الأَرضَ لَو كانَت بِغَيرِ أَذىً

    وَنَحنُ فيها لِذِكرِ اللَهِ سُكّانُ

    How beautiful the earth would be, were it free of harm,

    and we dwelt there to remember God!

  5. قَد يُمكِنُ البَعثُ إِن نادى المَليكُ بِهِ

    وَلَيسَ مِنّا لِدَفعِ الشَرِّ إِمكانُ

    Resurrection may be possible if the Sovereign calls for it,

    and we have no power to ward off evil.
