1. We're all slaves to our lives
We all strive for our time
١. كلُنا عبدٌ لعُمرِه
كلُنا يَسعى لدَهرِه
2. Do not blame one who has done wrong
In managing his affairs
٢. لا تَلُم مَن قد أساءَ
الفِعلَ في تدبيرِ أمرِه
3. And make excuses for one who could not
State his excuses
٣. واختَلِق عُذراً لِمَن لم
يَستَطِع إِبداءَ عُذرِه
