1. Time did not rightly shepherd the kin of Barmak,
When it cast their kingdom into dire turmoil.
١. ما رَعى الدَهرُ آلَ بَرمَكَ حَقّاً
أَن رَمى مُلكَهُم بِأَمرٍ فَظيعِ
2. A time that tended no right for life to thrive
Except tending the reins of the house of Spring.
٢. إِنَّ دَهراً لَم يَرعَ حَقّاً لِيَحيى
غَيرُ راعٍ ذِمامَ آلِ الرَبيعِ
