يَومنا يُشبِهُ أَمسِ

يَومنا يُشبِهُ أَمسِ

مِثلَما نُصبِحُ نُمسي

مِثلَما نُصبِحُ نُمسي

Our today resembles yesterday;

Our day is like yesterday

as we are in the morning, so we are in the evening.

As we awake, we retire

إِنّ هَذي لحياةٌ

إِنّ هَذي لحياةٌ

ما تُساوي عُشرَ فِلسِ

ما تُساوي عُشرَ فِلسِ

Indeed, this is a life

This life of ours

not worth a tenth of a fils.

Is not worth a dime
