1. I grew old and my loved ones left me
And the soul was certain of nothing but eternity
١. كَبِرتُ وَفارَقَني الأَقرَبونَ
وَأَيقَنَتِ النَفسُ إِلّا خُلودا
2. And friends disappeared until they were gone
And time left none of them as pillars
٢. وَبانَ الأَحِبَّةُ حَتّى فَنوا
وَلَم يَترُكِ الدَهرُ مِنهُم عَميدا
3. So oh time we bow down before you
For we are neither rock nor iron
٣. فَيا دَهرُ قَدكَ فَأَسجِح بِنا
فَلَسنا بِصَخرٍ وَلَسنا حَديدا
