It tells us of bygone ages;

It tells us of bygone ages,

And informs us of the history of the ages;

And informs us of the history of the ages;

وتنطق بالحقائق وهي صَلدٌ

وتنطق بالحقائق وهي صَلدٌ

وتُشعر وهي فقادةُ الشعورِ

And speaks truths, though it is hard stone,

And moves us, though itself devoid of feeling.

And stirs feeling, though it is devoid of feeling.
