سِرْ مَعَ الدَّهْرِ لا تَصُدَّنَّكَ

سِرْ مَعَ الدَّهْرِ لا تَصُدَّنَّكَ

الأَهوالُ أَو تُفْزِعَنَّكَ الأَحداثُ

الأَهوالُ أَو تُفْزِعَنَّكَ الأَحداثُ

Walk with time; do not be deterred

Go with the flow of time, do not let

Walk with the times; let nothing bar your way,

by terrors, or frightened by events.

The horrors stop you, or events alarm you,

Nor let its terrors or events strike fear.

سِرْ مَعَ الدَّهْرِ كيفما شاءتِ

سِرْ مَعَ الدَّهْرِ كيفما شاءتِ

الدُّنيا ولا يخدعنَّكَ النَّفَّاثُ

الدُّنيا ولا يخدعنَّكَ النَّفَّاثُ

Walk with time, however it pleases

Go with the flow of time, however it wills,

Walk with the times, however the world may turn,

the world; and let not the spell-blower deceive you.

This life, though deceivers try to charm you,

And let no blower of lies deceive your ear.

فالذي يُرْهِبُ الحياةَ شقيٌّ

فالذي يُرْهِبُ الحياةَ شقيٌّ

سَخِرَتْ من مصيرهِ الأَجْداثُ

سَخِرَتْ من مصيرهِ الأَجْداثُ

For whoever fears life is wretched;

For he who makes life frightful is wretched,

For he who dreads the face of life is wretched,

the graves have mocked his fate.

Fate mocked the outcome of his strife.

At whose grim fate the very graves have jeered.
