Claude 2

  1. مَضَت عَلى عَهدِه اللَيالي

    وَأُحدِثَت بَعدَهُ أُمور

    The nights have passed since his days,

    And after him matters were renewed,

  2. وَاِعتَضَت بِاليَأسِ مِنكَ صَبراً

    فَاِعتَدَل الحُسن وَالسُّرور

    And I lost patience in despair of you,

    So beauty and joy became balanced.

  3. فَلَستُ أَرجو وَلَستُ أَخشى

    ما أَحدَثت بَعده الدّهور

    So I neither hope nor fear

    What time has brought after him.

  4. فَليُبلِغِ الدَّهرُ في مَساتي

    فَما عَسى جُهدُه يَضير

    Let time reach its apex in my lifetime,

    For what can its effort harm?
