يا مَن بجَنابه التجاءُ الخاشي

يا مَن بجَنابه التجاءُ الخاشي

قَد خِفتُ من الزَمان فاربط جاشي

قَد خِفتُ من الزَمان فاربط جاشي

O you at whose side the fearful seek refuge,

O you in whose side the fearful take refuge,

I have grown afraid of time; so steady my heart.

I fear the times, so tie my saddle tight.

ما ضَرَّ سنا الشارِقِ يَنبَثُّ ضُحى

ما ضَرَّ سنا الشارِقِ يَنبَثُّ ضُحى

لَو مَنَّ عَلى الذُرَّةِ بالإِنعاشِ

لَو مَنَّ عَلى الذُرَّةِ بالإِنعاشِ

What harm would befall the rising sun's radiance, spreading at midmorning,

No harm in the shining sun spreading daylight,

If it graciously bestowed new life upon the grain?

If it would shower mercy on the atoms.
