1. Halt your journey, O traveller, for neither
A palm appears amidst the dew, nor face amidst lightning.
١. عَطِّل ركابكَ أيُّها السّاري فلا
كَفٌّ تُرَى لنَدىً ولاَ وجُهٌ نَدِ
2. By God, time and its people have not delighted
In one hoped for since the cherished Muhammad.
٢. واللهِ لاَ فرحَ الزَّمانُ وأَهلهُ
بِمُؤمَّلٍ بعدَ العزيز مُحمَّدِ
