غَلَبَ اليَقينَ عَليَّ شَكّي في الرَدى
حَتّى كَأَنّي لا أَراهُ عِيانا
Certainty overcame my doubt concerning death,
until it was as though I did not see it plainly.
فَعَميتُ حَتّى صِرتُ فيهِ كَأَنَّني
أُعطيتُ مِن رَيبِ المَنونِ أَمانا
Then I grew blind, until, in the face of it, I became as though
I had been granted safety from the perils of death.
