1. I knew the fragrance of youth when its perfume wafted
From a horizon, my heart sharing it with me

2. He wanted to renew the memories on barren ground
Not realizing I am time, the eternal rememberer

3. Places of visitation and home have become desolate for him
If only fate allowed, its warnings could set things right

4. My stores, Abu al-Jaysh, will our meeting come to pass
So eyes that long for you can feast again?

5. In short, whether he boasts vainly
To God or himself, in the end all glory is His
