1. Our cradle crushed so no
medicine can heal with a hand
١. حضاننا السحق فلا
تسحق دواءٌ بيدِ
2. And it is He who has come to us
Who dyed us with the boy
٢. وهو الذي قد جاءنا
من صبغنا بالولدِ
3. It does not bring the dye that
you want after that
٣. لا يجلب الصبغ الذي
تريده من بعدِ
4. Indeed, the one who dyes does not
increase the weight of the body
٤. إن الذي يصبغ لا
يزيد وزن الجسدِ
5. Therefore they limited it in
our sciences by number
٥. لذاك قد حدّوه في
علومنا بالعددِ
6. And a people ignorant of
wisdom said an evil word
٦. وقال قوم جهلوا ال
حكمة ذا قول ردي
7. Judging without knowledge the saying
of an ignorant licentious one
٧. حكماً بلا علم مقا
لَ جاهل ذي فندِ
8. They did not oppose our wisdom
If they had succeeded in righteousness
٨. ما خالفوا حكمتنا
لو وفقوا للرشدِ
