1. أَلا يا بَني آدَمَ اِستَنبِهوا

    أَما قَد نُهيتُم فَلَم تَنتَهوا

    O children of Adam, awaken!

    Were you not already told to stop, yet you did not desist?

  2. أَيا عَجَباً مِن ذَوي الإِعتِبا

    رِ ما مِنهُمُ اليَومَ مُستَنبِهُ

    Oh, how strange are those capable of reflection:

    not one of them is awake today!

  3. طَغى الناسُ حَتّى رَأَيتَ اللَبي

    بَ في غِيِّ طُغيانِهِ يَعمَهُ

    People have transgressed so far that you have seen the wise man

    wandering blindly in the error of his own transgression.
