1. Contemplate the sand in its place flowing
And give it a lifetime borrowed from you
١. تَأَمَّلِ الرَّمْلَ فِي الْمَكَانِ مُنْطَلِقاً
يَجْرِي وَقَدِّرْهُ عُمْراً مِنْكَ مُنْتَهَبَا
2. By God if the valley of sand could save it
Its misfortune would not last before it's gone
٢. وَاللهِ لَوْ كَانَ وَادي الَّرمْلِ يُنْجِدُهُ
مَا طَالَ طَائِلُهُ إِلاَّ وَقَدْ ذَهَبَا
