قالَت أَعاليهِ الصُلُب

قالَت أَعاليهِ الصُلُب

لَمّا تَثَنّى وَاِضطَرَب

لَمّا تَثَنّى وَاِضطَرَب

Its rigid upper parts said,

The lofty hills said,

as he bent and trembled:

حَتّى صُلِبتُ عَلى الخَشَب

“Do you think I committed a crime,

“Could it be that I committed a crime

to be crucified upon the wood?”
