1. O you whose steps are shortened by fatigue
People ahead while you lag behind
١. يا مَن يُقَصِّرُ خَطوَهُ الإِعياءُ
الناسُ قَدّامٌ وَأَنتَ وَراءُ
2. The paths to catch up with them have narrowed for you
For the frontrunners have a wide expanse
٢. ضاقَت فُروجُكَ عَن لِحاقِكَ مَن لَهُ
بَينَ السَوابِقُ جَبهَةٌ غَرّاءُ
3. So seek for yourself a tether other than that
In which latecomers find no rest
٣. فَاِطلُب لِنَفسِكَ مَربَطاً غَيرَ الَّذي
ما فيهِ لِلمُتعَثِّرينَ رِواءُ
