Time does not stay still for an ostrich

الدهر لا تبقى عليه نعامة

1. Time does not stay still for an ostrich
Easily settling and dodging its wounds

١. الدَهرُ لا تَبقى عَلَيهِ نَعامَةٌ
سَهلاً تَحُلُّ وَتَتَّقي أَجرالَها

2. And it sees lightning that stirred up its torrent
It seeks with that its flowers

٢. وَوَرى لَها بَرقٌ فَهاجَ زَفيفَها
أُدَحِيَّها تَبغي بِذاكَ وَرالَها

3. Wrapping around it the suspicion of time assigned
If the morning light did not visit it, the night visited it

٣. تُلفي بِها رَيبَ الزَمانِ مُوَكَّلاً
إِن لَم يَزُرها بِالنَهارِ سَرى لَها
