لِلَّهِ لِطفٌ خَفيٌّ في بَريَّتِهِ

أَعيا دَواءٌ المَنايا كُلَّ نِطَّيسِ

God has a subtle kindness in His creation

that remedies all afflictions however intense.

ما بالُ أَشباحِ قومٍ في الثَرى جُعِلَت

لَم تُبقِ إِلّا حَديثاً في القَراطيسِ

Why were the ghosts of a people placed in the ground -

leaving only tales written on scrolls?
