1. Vast is the difference 'twixt me and my friends,
And fate's long road before me never ends.
١. شَتّانَ ما بَيني وَبَينَ صَحابَتي
وَالعيسُ بي وَبِهِم تَمُدُّ بُراها
2. They count the miles they've travelled on their way,
While I count weary steps from day to day.
٢. يُحصونَ أَميالَ الطَريقِ وَفي يَدي
كَم خُطوَةٍ تَحني البَعيرَ خُطاها
