1. كَم أُمَّةٍ لَعِبَت بِها جُهّالُها

    فَتَنَطَّسَت مِن قَبلُ في تَعذيبِها

    How many a nation has been ruined by its ignorant ones

    Who sunk it down before into torment

  2. الخَوفُ يُلجِئُها إِلى تَصديقِها

    وَالعَقلُ وَيحمِلُها عَلى تَكذيبِها

    Fear drives it to believe in them

    And reason carries it to deny them

  3. وَجِبِلَّةُ الناسِ الفَسادُ فَظَلَّ مَن

    يَسمو بِحِكمَتِهِ إِلى تَهذيبِها

    Corruption is people's nature so he who rose

    With his wisdom to refine it remained

  4. يا ثُلَّةً في غَفلَةٍ وَأُوَيسُها ال

    القَرَنِيُّ مِثلُ أُوَيسِها أَي ذيبِها

    O band in negligence though its Uways loathes

    Not like its Uways or melter is Quranee

  5. سُبحانَ مُجَمِّدِ راكِدٍ وَمُقِرِّهِ

    وَمُميرِ لَجَّةِ زاخِرٍ وَمُذيبُها

    Glory to the Permanent, Settled and His Confirmer

    And He who melts the ice of gushing and its melter
