ويوم ذي مراجعةٍ

بفاقعة غدا يحلو

The day of reckoning draws near

Tomorrow dawns in splendor

فسل الشهب أظفاراً

بها الأرواح قد سلوا

Ask the stars to sheathe their claws

With which souls they have seized

سل الحجلات ما لاقت

فإن عديدها محلُ

Question the nights for what they witnessed

For their count is uncertain
