لا مُلكَ لِلمَلِكِ المَقصورِ نَعلَمُهُ

وَكُلُّ عَلى الرَحمنِ مَقصورُ

The destined king, we know him not,

And all are dependent on the Merciful.

مَضَت قُرونٌ وَتَمضي بَعدَنا أُمَمٌ

وَالسِرُّ خافٍ إِلى أَن يُنفَخَ الصورُ

Centuries have passed and nations will pass after us,

And the secret remains hidden until the trumpet is blown.

لَم يُحصِ أَعدادَ رَملِ الأَرضِ ساكِنُها

وَكُلُّ ذلِك عِندَ اللَهِ مَحصورُ

The dweller did not count the grains of sand of the earth,

And all that is with God enumerated.
