خالَفتَ عِجلَك فَانتَبِه
فيin حينِthe time when تُمسِyou enter evening وَتُصبحُand you enter morning
في حينِ تُمسِ وَتُصبحُ
You have differed from your calf, so take heed,
You went against your haste, so be aware
when you enter evening and morning.
As you touch and become the morning
ماnot وَجهُthe face of عِجلكَyour calf أَصبَحٌfairer
ما وَجهُ عِجلكَ أَصبَحٌ
هاbehold أَنتَyou ظهركyour back أَصبَحُfairer
ها أَنتَ ظهرك أَصبَحُ
Your calf’s face is not fairer;
What is the face of your haste in the morning?
behold, you—your back is fairer.
