إِلى كُلِّ قَومٍ سُلَّمٌ يُرتَقَى بِهِ

إِلى كُلِّ قَومٍ سُلَّمٌ يُرتَقَى بِهِ

وَلَيسَ إِلَينا في السَلاليمِ مَطلَعُ

وَلَيسَ إِلَينا في السَلاليمِ مَطلَعُ

To every people there is a ladder by which one may climb;

To every people there is a ladder by which one may ascend;

but among all ladders, none gives access to us.

but among the ladders there is no way up to us.

وَيَهرُبُ مِنّا كُلُّ وَحشٍ وَيَنتَهي

وَيَهرُبُ مِنّا كُلُّ وَحشٍ وَيَنتَهي

إِلى وَحشِنا وَحشُ الفَلاةِ وَيَرتَعُ

إِلى وَحشِنا وَحشُ الفَلاةِ وَيَرتَعُ

Every wild beast flees from us; yet there makes its way

And every wild beast flees from us, and there come

to our wild creatures the beast of the wilderness, and grazes freely.

to our wild beasts the beasts of the wilderness, and they graze.
