اِشتَدَّ بَغيُ الناسِ في الأَرضِ

وَعُلُوُّ بَعضِهِمُ عَلى بَعضِ

The people's wrongdoing intensified on earth

And some rose above others

دَعهُم وَما اِختاروا لِأَنفُسِهِم

فَاللَهُ بَينَ عِبادِهِ يَقضي

Leave them and what they chose for themselves

For God judges between His servants

عَجَباً لَهُم لا يَفكُرونَ فَيَع

تَبِرَ الَّذي يَبقى بِمَن يَمضي

Wondrously, they do not think to comprehend

That the one who remains endures after the one who passes
