1. This world is but a momentary stay
Wherein the past is counted, and the rest yet delayed
١. وَما هَذِهِ الدُنيا سِوى كَرِّ لَحطَةٍ
يُعَدُّ بِها الماضي وَما لَم يَحِن بَعدُ
2. It is time present, naught else in any way
What's passed and what's to come are alike gone and mislaid
٢. هِيَ الزَمَنُ المَوجودُ لا شَيءَ غَيرَهُ
وَما مَرَّ وَالآتي عَديمانِ يا دَعدُ
