1. أشمسَ الغربِ حقًّا ما سمِعنا

    بأنكَ قد سئِمتَ به الإقامَه

    O sun of the West, is what we have heard true—

    that you have grown weary of residing there,

  2. وأنكَ قد عزمتَ على طُلُوعٍ

    إلى شرقٍ سمَوتَ به عَلامَه

    and that you have resolved to rise

    toward an East where you have risen as a beacon?

  3. لقد زَلزَلتَ مِنا كلَّ رُكنٍ

    بحَقِّ اللهِ لا تُقِمِ القِيامَه

    You have indeed shaken every pillar within us;

    for God's sake, do not bring on the Resurrection.
