مرَامُكم لا يُنالُ

مرَامُكم لا يُنالُ

كعثْرَة لا تُقالُ

كعثْرَة لا تُقالُ

Your aim cannot be attained,

Your goal cannot be attained

like a stumble that cannot be pardoned.

Like a stumble that cannot be excused

وذاكَ شيءٌ مُحالٌ

وذاكَ شيءٌ مُحالٌ

للسر منهُ مَجالُ

للسر منهُ مَجالُ

And that is an impossible thing;

And that is an impossible thing

in it there is room for the secret.

For the secret within has some room

نرى لكَ الدهْرَ مالا

نرى لكَ الدهْرَ مالا

يَسُوغُ منْهُ نوالُ

يَسُوغُ منْهُ نوالُ

We see time as wealth for you;

We see for you time has what

bounty from it is pleasant to receive.

Is not proper for it to be attained
