قَد قَضَينا العُمرَ في مَطلِكُمُ
وَظَنَنّا وَعدَكُم كانَ مَناما
We have spent our lifetime enduring your delays,
And thought your promise was merely a dream.
أَإِذا مُتنا نَرى وَعدَكُمُ
أَم إِذا كُنّا تُراباً وَعِظاما
Is it when we die that we shall see your promise,
Or when we have become dust and bones?
