يَا وَالِيَ الْعُمْرِ وَأَلْقَابُهُ

لَهَا إِلَى التَّضْييعِ فَرْطُ انْتِسَابْ

O guardian of life and its titles

It is prone to squandering its lineage

لاَ تَأمَنِ الدَّهْرَ وَعُدْوَانَهُ

عَلَيْكَ فَالدَّهْرُ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابْ

Do not trust time and its transgressions

Upon you, for time is swift in its reckoning
