If Time wages war against my heart,
If time fought against my heart
it has indeed been aided with victory.
It found help and support
ياO دَهرُTime لَوif كُنتَyou were حُرَّnoble
يا دَهرُ لَو كُنتَ حُرَّ
لَماthen you would not have أَمِنتَplaced trust لِحُرِّin a noble man
لَما أَمِنتَ لِحُرِّ
O Time, if you were noble,
O time, if you were free
you would not have placed trust in a noble man.
You would not feel safe from the free
Sol 6.1
