When Time sinks its claw and fang,
When the days inflict their wounds and bites
And pounces upon the freeborn man among us and afflicts him,
And persist to persecute me and bite
صبرناwe endured ولمand did not نشكcomplain of أحداثهits calamities
صبرنا ولم نشك أحداثه

لأنا نعاف التشكي ونابا
We endure and do not complain of its calamities,
We are patient and doubt not their events
For we abhor complaint and fang.
For we shun complaining and biting
Sol 6.1
