لا غَروَ أَن ضاعَتِ الأَعيادُ بَينَكُمُ

رِفقاً كَأَنّي بِكُم قَد ضاعَتِ الجُمَعُ

It is no wonder that celebrations have vanished among you

Gently, as if I have vanished along with the crowds

فَليَعجَبِ الناسُ مِن قَومٍ يَقودهُمُ

إِلى الضَلالَةِ أَعمى وَهوَ مُتَّبَعُ

Let people be amazed at a nation led

To misguidance by a blind man followed blindly

قَد كَذَّبوا ما رَأَوهُ وَهوَ مُتَّضحٌ

وَصَدَّقوا ما رَواهُ وَهوَ مُمتَنِعُ

They have denied what they have seen clearly

And believed what they were told though impossible
