ولعمرو مرة تضحى وتمسى
At one time, the world is Zayd's in the morning;
The world belongs to Zaid one day
At another, it is Amr's in the forenoon and evening.
And to Amr another, it dawns and darkens

Neither Zayd nor Amr has been helped in it
It was not faithful to Zaid or Amr
By abundance or ease against the constriction of a grave.
With spaciousness or calm from the tightness of etching
