هَل أَنتَ منقِذُ شلوي مِن يدي زمن

أَضحى يَقُدُّ أَديمي قَدَّ مُنتَهِسِ

Are you my savior from the grip of time

That leads my hide stripped bare and torn?

دَعَوتُكَ الدَعوَةَ الأولى وَبي رَمَقٌ

وَهذهِ دَعوةٌ وَالدهرُ مُفتَرِسي

I called you first when I had some life left

This call as fate lies ready to descend
