1. أشَمْسَ الغَرْبِ حقّاً ما سَمِعْنا

    بأنَّك قد سَئِمْتَ من الإقامَهْ

    O sun of the West, is what we have heard really true—

    that you have grown weary of staying,

  2. وأنَّكَ قَدْ عزمتَ على طُلوعٍ

    إلى شَرْقٍ سَمَوْتَ به عَلامَهْ

    and that you have resolved to rise

    toward an East where you have risen as a sign?

  3. لقد زلْزَلْتَ مِنّا كُلَّ قَلْبٍ

    بِحَقِّ اللهِ لا تُقِمِ القِيامَهْ

    You have indeed shaken every heart among us;

    for God's sake, do not bring on the Resurrection.
