1. And though the soul in fear of death may cower
Hope gives it strength in life's most trying hour
١. وَلِلنُّفوسِ وَإِن كانَت عَلى وَجَلٍ
مِنَ المَنِيَّةِ آمالٌ تُقَوّيها
2. A man spreads wide his hopes though soon the bier
Will strew them scattered or the grave uprear
٢. وَالمَرءُ يَبسطها وَالنَّعشُ يَنشُرُها
وَالدَّهرُ يَقبِضُها وَالمَوتُ يَطويها
