1. إنما هذه الحياةُ مَنامٌ

    والأمانِي حُلْمٌ بها الْمَرْءُ صَبُّ

    This life is nothing but a dream,

    And wishes are a dream; one is enamored of them.

  2. فلهذا تأْتِي على العكسِ مِمَّا

    كَرِهَ النَّاسُ دائماً وأحَبُّوا

    Thus it unfolds contrary to what

    People have always hated and loved.
