أَتى راكِباً فَوقَ الجَوادِ كَأَنَّهُ

أَتى راكِباً فَوقَ الجَوادِ كَأَنَّهُ

ذَكا الأُفقِ لاحَ يَسحَبُه المَلكْ

ذَكا الأُفقِ لاحَ يَسحَبُه المَلكْ

He came riding upon the steed, as though he were

the sun of the horizon, appearing as the angel draws it along.

وَقَد سارَ نَحوَ الغَربِ يَعدو بِسرعةٍ

وَقَد سارَ نَحوَ الغَربِ يَعدو بِسرعةٍ

ولا بِدْعَ فَهوَ الشَّمسُ سَيَّرَهُ الفَلكْ

ولا بِدْعَ فَهوَ الشَّمسُ سَيَّرَهُ الفَلكْ

And he went toward the west, galloping swiftly;

and no wonder, for he is the sun, set in motion by the celestial sphere.
