قَد ظَنَ أَنَّهُ عَظيم

صارَ كَما تَرىعِظاما

He thought he was so great,

Now he's just bones, as you can see.

وَقَد رَأى ماجد كَريم

وَالدهُ لَيلُهُ مَلاما

And Majid the generous saw

His father scolding him that night.

وَقالَ يَفقد بَعدَ حين

في عام أَرختهُ غُلاما

He said "After a while, you will miss me"

In a year when I was but a lad.
