1. وكل فتىً أخطأته الحتوف

    له زمن سوف يختانه

    And every youth whom death has missed

    Has a time that will betray him.

  2. فيوماً يروق الورى غصنه

    ويوماً ستيبس أغصانه

    So one day his branch delights humankind,

    And one day his branches will wither.

  3. أمورٌ تبيد وأخرى تفيد

    وكل ستوحش أمطائه

    Some things perish, and others bring benefit,

    And each one's backs will grow desolate (wording unclear).
