وظلماءَ ما في سُدِّها من خَصَاصةٍ

لعين ولا فيها لذي الرأي مَحْدِسُ

The darkness in its obstruction has no property,

No eye, nor in it, to the wise, an observatory.

عفا جُلبُها آي الهدى من سمائها

وغطَّى على أضوائها فهْي طُمَّسُ

Its heavy clouds have concealed the signs of guidance from its sky,

And have obscured its lights, so it is darkened.
