يتخطّى الورى ويخطو إلينا
Every day, fate brings us a calamity.
Each day a mission from fate at our door,
It passes over humankind and steps toward us.
Steps over the world and steps up to our lives.
ليتif only نُعمىblessings أيّامناour days مثلlike
ليت نُعمى أيّامنا مثل

بؤساها فيومٌ لنا ويومٌ علينا
If only the blessings of our days matched
Would that we were blind to our days of joy
their misery—then one day would be for us, and one day against us.
As the days of our misery, each comes and goes.
Sol 6.1
