1. The overwhelming tide pours forth profusely
And the driving rain, numbered drops, concise
١. يَتَفَيهَقُ الغمرُ المُغَمَّر مُسهِباً
وَالمِصقَعُ العِدُّ القَريحَةِ موجِزُ
2. God knows that I am helpless
In what I say, and that that is a miracle
٢. وَاللَهُ يَعلَمُ أَنَّ هَذا عاجِزٌ
فيما يَقولُ وَأَن ذَلِكَ مُعجِزُ
3. Like a promise, those who break it are strengthened by its burden
And those who fulfill it fear the weight of its bond
٣. كَالوَعدِ يَقوى المُخلِفونَ بِحَملِهِ
وَيَهابُ عُهدَةَ عَقدِهِ مَن يُنجِزُ
