خَبّر فديتُكَ مَن أَبوهُ طائِرٌ

خَبّر فديتُكَ مَن أَبوهُ طائِرٌ

إِن كُنتَ تَعلَمُ وَابنُهُ إِنسانُ

إِن كُنتَ تَعلَمُ وَابنُهُ إِنسانُ

Tell me, may I be your ransom, who has a bird for a father,

Tell me, I implore you, who is the father of a bird,

if you know, and a human for a son,

If you know, and the son of a man?

بَينَ الأُبُوَّةِ وَالبُنُوَّةِ وَهوَ لا

بَينَ الأُبُوَّةِ وَالبُنُوَّةِ وَهوَ لا

جِنٌّ وَلا إِنسٌ وَلا حَيوانُ

جِنٌّ وَلا إِنسٌ وَلا حَيوانُ

between fatherhood and sonship, while he is neither

Between fatherhood and sonship, yet he is not

jinn, nor human, nor animal?

A jinn, nor a human, nor an animal.
