1. O you who remember the people of al-Nada before
I have the words and you have the proof
١. يا ذاكِراً أَهلَ النَدى مِن قَبلِهِ
عِندي الحَديثُ وَعِندَكَ البُرهانُ
2. Far apart is what these eyes of yours say
And what your words tell my hearing
٢. شَتّانَ ما قَولٌ لِعَينِكَ هَذِهِ
يَدُهُ وَقَولُكُم لِسَمعي كانوا
