I have no concern for the past or the present,
I have no concern for past or present,
But my heart is in love with the future.
But my heart is enthralled with future's glow.

فالنفسُ مولَعة بما قَدْ تَرتجِى

وقد انفتحتْ عَن حاضرٍ كالأولِ
For the soul is enamored of what it may hope for,
For the soul craves what it hopes to get,
And it has opened to reveal a present like the past.
And has opened up to a present like the past.
