The owner of this palace—how often was
How many kisses were planted yesterday
his courtyard kissed yesterday, and how greatly he was revered!
In the courtyard of this palace and how highly it was regarded
وَقُدرَةُand the power القادِرِof the Almighty فيin هَدمِهِdemolishing it
وَقُدرَةُ القادِرِ في هَدمِهِ

أَعظَمُ مِنها في بِناءِ السَما
And the Almighty’s power in demolishing it
Yet the power of the Almighty in destroying it
is greater than His power in building the sky.
Is far greater than His power in constructing the heavens
