1. Learn from the days, for they are expressive,
Their vicissitudes continuously strike parables.
١. اِفهَم عَنِ الأَيّامِ فَهيَ نَواطِقٌ
مازالَ يَضرِبُ صَرفُها الأَمثالا
2. No wondrous event will pass in your life,
Without the days making it an example for you.
٢. لَم يَمضِ في دُنياكَ أَمرٌ مُعجِبٌ
إِلّا أَرَتكَ لِما مَضى تِمثالا
