1. When the ground of bodies shook, you see it
And the eyelids did not acquire any dislike in it
١. إذا زلزلت أرضُ الجسومِ تراها
وما نالت الأجفان فيه كراها
2. Great things certainly appeared in it
And it did not separate from what its nakedness saw
٢. لقد ظهرتْ فيها أمور عظيمةٌ
وما انفصمتْ مما رأته عراها
3. When the caller came to bring out what is in it
And bring out for me what it has collected as its wealth
٣. إذا جاءها الداعي ليخرج ما بها
وأخرج لي ما قد أجنَّ ثراها
4. And our visions were incapable of seeing any
Judgement for it in our courtyard, so how can it see it?
٤. وقد عجزتْ أبصارنا أن ترى لها
بساحتنا حكماً فكيف تراها
