وَطالَ عُمرُكَ في دَهرٍ بِهِ قِصَرٌ

وَطالَ عُمرُكَ في دَهرٍ بِهِ قِصَرٌ

تُعَدُّ فيهِ شُهورُ العَيشِ أَيّاما

تُعَدُّ فيهِ شُهورُ العَيشِ أَيّاما

And may your life be long in an age of brevity,

May you have a long life in a time when lives are short,

In which the months of life are counted as days.

Where months of existence are counted as mere days.
