وَلَيل شَديد الرّعدِ يَتبَعُ بَرقهُ

وَمَن شامَ ذا فيهِ تَيَقَّنَ موتَهُ

And a night of heavy thunder follows its lightning

And whoever experiences it is certain of their death

فَما البَرقُ ثمّ الرّعدُ إِلّا كَمَدفَع

تَرى نارَه قبلاً فَتَسمَعُ صوتَهُ

For the lightning then the thunder is like a cannon

You see its fire first then hear its sound
