مَن عاشَ تِسعينَ حَولاً فَهوَ مُغتَرِبٌ

قَد زايَلَ الأَهلَ إِلّا مَعشَراً جُدُدا

Whoever lived ninety years is an exile

Who parted from his family except for some newcomers

وَشاهَدَ الناسَ مِن كَهلٍ وَمُقتَبِلٍ

وَدالِفِ الخَطوِ لا يُحصي لَهُم عَدَدا

And saw people as elders and youths

With faltering steps, beyond counting
