1. Whoever accompanies time will not lack its vicissitudes
And in it the thorns grow as well as the roses
١. مَن يَصحَبِ الدَهر لَم يَعدَم تَقَلّبَهُ
وَالشَوكُ يَنبُتُ فيهِ الوَردُ والآسُ
2. It passes at times and its events become empty for me
Rarely has it wounded me except to fold its solace
٢. يَمُرّ حينا وَتَخلو لي حَوادِثُهُ
فَقَلَّما جَرحت إِلّا اِنثَنَت تاسو
