1. And an hour speaks with the tongue of circumstance
When the celestial sphere appears through its parts
١. وَساعة بِلِسان الحال قائِلَة
لَما تَمَثل في أَجزائِها الفلك
2. People think my hours, though they know not
That their lives pass and they have no control
٢. الناس تحسب ساعاتي وَما عَلِموا
بِأَن أَعمارهم تَمضي وَما مَلَكوا
