1. O you whose beauty adorns the face of time,
And I see all creation as partners in your benevolence,
١. يا مَنْ غدا حُسْناً لِوجهِ زمانِهِ
وأرى الوَرى شركاءَ في إحسانِهِ
2. Instruct time, for it is your servant,
To protect me within its fold and its surety.
٢. أوْصِ الزَّمانَ فإنَّهُ لكَ خادِمٌ
بِصيانَتي في ضِمنِهِ وضَمانِهِ
