اليوم اول السنه وامس آخر العام

و الشمس تشرق و الملا لاهي

Today is the first of the year, and yesterday was the end of the year

The sun rises while the mullah is distracted

في ساحة العمر كل(ن) يقرع طبوله

ماشفت للنفس عن درب الخطا ناهي

In the field of life, everyone beats their drums

I have not seen the soul turn away from the path of error

كل(ن) على ماتبي نفسه يطربها

و الذهن عن عبرة ايام الدهر ساهي

Everyone indulges in what pleases their soul

While the mind forgets the lessons of the days of fate

يا غافل القلب لا يغريك زاهيها

أفطن ترى الورد مايبطي و هو زاهي

O heedless heart, do not be fooled by its beauty

Be wise, you see the rose does not last even in bloom

ياجامع المال يامن غايته دنيا

وش حيلتك في غياب المال و الجاهِ

O gatherer of wealth, whose only aim is this world

What will you do when wealth and status are gone?

دنياك لو زخرفت لك شمسها واضحت

ترى البلا في خبايا ليلها راهي

If your world were adorned for you and its sun shone bright

You would see the afflictions hidden in the darkness of its night

لابد للدرب مهما طالت نهايه

و العمر لو طال به حبل الرجا واهي

The path must reach its end no matter how long it is

And life, however taut the rope of hope is stretched, will fade

الرّابح اللي نسيم الحظ له ذعذع

قدّاه ربه على التقوى ولا تاهِ

The winner is one who, with the breeze of fortune blowing,

Has been guided by his Lord to piety and did not go astray
