وَأَنَّا
لَمَسۡنَا
ٱلسَّمَآءَ
فَوَجَدۡنَٰهَا
مُلِئَتۡ
حَرَسٗا
شَدِيدٗا
وَشُهُبٗا

˹Earlier˺ we tried to reach heaven ˹for news˺, only to find it filled with stern guards and shooting stars.1
وَأَنَّا
كُنَّا
نَقۡعُدُ
مِنۡهَا
مَقَٰعِدَ
لِلسَّمۡعِۖ
فَمَن
يَسۡتَمِعِ
ٱلۡأٓنَ
يَجِدۡ
لَهُۥ
شِهَابٗا
رَّصَدٗا
