1. مضت وبقاياها الشواخص عندنا

    تعدّ وتحصى في عداد الغرائبِ

    It has passed, and its standing remnants among us

    are counted and numbered among the curiosities.

  2. ويا ربما يأتي خلائقُ بعدنا

    يعدّوننا من أمهات العجائبِ

    And oh, perhaps people will come after us

    who count us among the greatest wonders.
