1. نُح واجر بالسَفحِ الذي دنَّستَهُ

    بخَطاءِ فِعلِكَ هامعَ العَبَراتِ

    Lament, and pour upon the slope you have defiled

    By your sinful deed a torrent of tears.

  2. وإذا ت َعذَّرَ دمعُ عينِكَ بالبُكا

    لا تَسأمَن مِن عِدَّة الطَلَباتِ

    And if your eye's tears will not flow as you weep,

    Never grow weary of repeated supplications.

  3. فالماءُ لم يَنبُع لمُوسَى بالعَصا

    من ضربةٍ لكنَّ من ضَرَباتِ

    For water did not spring forth for Moses through the staff

    From a single blow, but from repeated blows.
