أمولاي إن الدهر قد جار واعتدى

ومال على ضعفي وبالغ في جرحي

My God, time has been unjust and aggressive

And took advantage of my weakness, exceeding in its assault

لعل إذا ضاقت وسدت مذاهبي

تؤب ونصر الله يؤذن بالفتح

Perhaps when my paths are blocked and closed

It will relent, and God's help heralds victory
