سِرْ مَعَ الدَّهْرِ لا تَصُدَّنَّكَ

الأَهوالُ أَو تُفْزِعَنَّكَ الأَحداثُ

Go with the flow of time, do not let

Walk with the times; let nothing bar your way,

The horrors stop you, or events alarm you,

Nor let its terrors or events strike fear.

سِرْ مَعَ الدَّهْرِ كيفما شاءتِ

الدُّنيا ولا يخدعنَّكَ النَّفَّاثُ

Go with the flow of time, however it wills,

Walk with the times, however the world may turn,

This life, though deceivers try to charm you,

And let no blower of lies deceive your ear.

فالذي يُرْهِبُ الحياةَ شقيٌّ

سَخِرَتْ من مصيرهِ الأَجْداثُ

For he who makes life frightful is wretched,

For he who dreads the face of life is wretched,

Fate mocked the outcome of his strife.

At whose grim fate the very graves have jeered.
