لَو كُنتَ تُبصِرُها وَقَد
وَقَفتُ لِبَثّي تَسمَعُ
If you had seen her standing still
to hear my lament,
لَحَسِبتُها شَمسَ الأَصي
لِ وَخِلتُ أَنّي يوشَعُ
you'd think my sun had set at noon
and Joshua made the sun stand still
لَو كُنتَ تُبصِرُها وَقَد
وَقَفتُ لِبَثّي تَسمَعُ
If you had seen her standing still
to hear my lament,
لَحَسِبتُها شَمسَ الأَصي
لِ وَخِلتُ أَنّي يوشَعُ
you'd think my sun had set at noon
and Joshua made the sun stand still
