1. Many a month whose edges I enjoyed
Whenever its nights were long for me
١. رُبَّ شهْرٍ قد نَعِمْتُ به
حين رقَّتْ لِي حواشِيهِ
2. Its days passed quickly
When its nights were prolonged for me
٢. رَكَضَت أَيّامُه قِصَراً
عندما طالت ليَالِيه
3. So the first half was
And the past was the second half
٣. فكان النِّصفَ أَوّلُه
وكان السلخَ ثانيه
