أَرَابَ الدهرُ حتى ما يُريبُ

وحتى لا عجيبَ له عجيبُ

Time has thrown strange events, as if with nothing more to surprise,

So there's no strange event that would seem strange or otherwise.

فلا تعجبْ لخلَّالٍ نبيلٍ

فأعجَبُ منهُ طِفلٌ لا يَشيبُ

So do not wonder at a noble youth, however fine,

For one more wondrous still is a child who does not age.
