1. Whoever complains of the harshness of time, as for me
I am thankful for the kindness of time towards me
١. مَن شَكا قَسوَةَ الزَّمانِ فإنِّي
شاكِرٌ رأفَةَ الزَّمانِ عَلَيَّا
2. When it showed me your satisfaction with me and inclination
Towards me with righteousness and endowment upon me
٢. إذ أرَتْني رِضاكَ عَنِّي وإقبا
لَكَ بالبِرِّ والتَّحَفِّي عَلَيَّا
3. So may God reward it on my behalf with goodness
It made me something when I was nothing
٣. فجزاهَا الإلهُ عَنِّيَ خَيْراً
صَيَّرَتْني شَيئاً ولم أكُ شَيَّا
