عجبت لمولودٍ وليس له أبٌ

وليس له أمٌّ بحكم حقيقِ

I am amazed by one born without a father

And without a mother, by truth's decree.

كذا عكسه قد حاز منه اتِّلادَه

وُجوداً ولن يسعى بغير طريق

Likewise, his opposite attained his birth

Through existence, and he will not seek another way.

خلافاً لمولودٍ بأمٍّ ولا أبٍ

كذا عكسه ينبيك بالتصديق

Unlike one born with a mother, without a father -

Likewise, its opposite you should believe.
