1. When time unravels your ropes
And narrows the paths of your escape
١. إِذا صَرمَ الزمانُ عُرى حِبالِك
وَضيّقَ مِن تَخلّصكَ المَسالِك
2. And oppresses you with injustice, be patient
Perhaps Allah will bring about after that something good
٢. وَسامكَ صَرفُهُ بِالضيمِ فَاِصبِر
لَعلَ اللّه يحدِث بعد ذلك
