1. الدَهرُ طَلّاعٌ بِأَحداثِهِ

    وَرُسلُهُ فيها المَقاديرُ

    Time ever brings forth its events;

    And its messengers therein are the fates.

  2. مَحجوبَةً تَنفُذُ أَحكامُها

    لَيسَ لَنا عَن ذاكَ تَأخيرُ

    Though hidden, their decrees take effect;

    There is no postponing that for us.
