They say, rest assured, for fate has made peace with you,

يقولون نم في هدنة الدهر آمنا

1. They say, rest assured, for fate has made peace with you,
But I said, who can make fate be at peace with me?

١. يَقولونَ نَم في هِدنَةِ الدَهرِ آمِناً
فَقُلتُ وَمَن لي أَن يُهادِنَني الدَهرُ

2. Is not war just what you see as damages done
To life, wealth lost, or confronting poverty?

٢. هَلِ الحَربُ إِلّا ما تَرونَ نَقيصَةً
مِنَ العُمرِ أَو عُدمٌ مِنَ المالِ أَو عُسرُ

3. No truce is possible until no wealthy person
Remains, nor does abundance stay with the rich.

٣. فَلا صُلحَ حَتّى لا يَكونَ لِواجِدٍ
ثَراءٌ وَلا يَبقى عَلى وافِرٍ وَفرُ
