دُنياكَ مَوموقَةٌ

أَكثَرُ مِن أُختِها

Your world is unsteady

More so than its sister

لَم تُبقِ مِن جَزلِها

شَيئاً وَلا شَختِها

It left nothing of its stoutness

Nor its nobility

أَتى عَلى ذَرِّها الآ

تي عَلى بُختِها

Time has passed on its atoms

And on its good fortune

فَاِنظُر إِلى صُنعِها

وَاِنظُر إِلى بُختِها

So look upon its making

And look upon its fortune
