1. O you who shows the beauty of time,
And who encompasses all beautiful knowledge,
١. يا مَن أراهُ للزَّمانِ حَسَنَهْ
ومَنْ حوى من كُلِّ عِلمٍ حَسَنَهْ
2. If you are absent from us for a year, it is an eternity,
And a year in which you are present is youthful bliss.
٢. إن غِبْتَ عَنّا سَنةً فَهْيَ سَنَهْ
وسَنَةٌ تحضُرُ فيها وَسَنَهْ
