1. أقول إذ نالنا في بر مصر عني

    لما أتينا إلى الأهرام في الظلم

    I say, when hardship befell us in the land of Egypt,

    When we came to the pyramids in the darkness:

  2. أتى الزمان بنوه في شبيبته

    فسرهم وأتيناه على الهرم

    Time's sons came to him in his youth,

    So he gladdened them; we came to him in his old age.
