غَضبتم وَالزَمان مَعاً

غَضبتم وَالزَمان مَعاً

فَلا كانَ الَّذي أَنهى

فَلا كانَ الَّذي أَنهى

You and time grew angry together;

You became angry while time remained agreeable,

May the one who reported it never have existed!

So it was not he who brought matters to an end.

أَاشكوكُم إِلى الأَيّا

أَاشكوكُم إِلى الأَيّا

م أَم أَشكو لَكُم مِنها

م أَم أَشكو لَكُم مِنها

Shall I complain of you to the days,

Shall I complain of you to the days

or complain to you of them?

Or shall I complain to you about them?
