لا تَنخدعَنَّ باِمتِداد العمرِ

لا تَنخدعَنَّ باِمتِداد العمرِ

واغنَم فُرَصاً قَبلَ نَفادِ العُمرِ

واغنَم فُرَصاً قَبلَ نَفادِ العُمرِ

Do not be deceived by the length of life;

Do not be deceived by the length of life

And seize opportunities before life runs out.

And seize opportunities before life runs out

هاتيكَ أَهلَّةُ الشُهور اِنعطفت

هاتيكَ أَهلَّةُ الشُهور اِنعطفت

كالمنجل شَكلاً لحصاد العُمرِ

كالمنجل شَكلاً لحصاد العُمرِ

Those crescents of the months have curved,

These months have curved

Like a sickle in shape, to reap life.

Like a sickle, to harvest life
