هذا زمان له طريق

فاسلك له عامدا طيقه

This is an age that has its way

So walk its path with purpose and resolve

متى دنا منك فيه خلق

يريد وصلا فخف عقوقه

Whenever in it you find a people

Seeking to connect, then gentle their harshness

وكن من الناس سامريّا

تستمسك العروة الوثيقة

And be among the people a Samaritan

Holding fast to the secure handle

أشدّ من خفت منه مكرا

من كنت في زعمه صديقه

Firmer than if you feared from it deceit

From one you thought in pretense a friend

وكن مع القوم كيف كانوا

وكن كما أنت في الحقيقه

And be with the people however they are

And be as you are in reality
