1. نَعم حَصحَصَ الحَقُّ وانكَشفا

    وبانَ الصَّوابُ وزال الخَفا

    Yes, the truth has become manifest and been revealed.

    And what is right has become clear, and obscurity has vanished.

  2. لِذاك فإنِّي له مُنصِفٌ

    ولي شَرَف إِن أَكُن مُنصِفا

    For that reason, I give it its due,

    And it is an honor for me if I am fair.

  3. ولكنَّ في النَّفس لي حاجَةٌ

    غليلُ فُؤادي بها ما اشتَفى

    And yet within my soul I have a need:

    My heart's burning thirst has not been quenched by it.

  4. وذاك لماذا مَضَت وانقَضَت

    عُصورٌ وذا السِرُّ عنا اختَفى

    And it is this: why did there pass and come to an end

    Ages, while this secret was hidden from us,

  5. ولم يَبدُ إلا أخيراً فمَن

    يَكونُ جوابُه لي مُسعِفا

    And appeared only at last? Then whose

    Answer will come to my aid?
