Abket el ayyam aayni w el foad behi shojounThe days have made my eyes weep, and my heart’s filled with sorrow.
Khab fil ayyam zhanni w ertabakt men ezzonounMy hopes in these days have failed, and I’ve been shaken by my doubts.
Khab fil ayyam zhanni hinama zad errahilMy hopes in these days have failed, as the departures only seem to grow.
Olt ya ayyam da’et alet e’tarab essabilI said, “O days, I’m lost,” but they replied, “The path is drawing near.”

Abket el ayyam aayni hinama zad errahilThe days have made my eyes weep, as the departures only seem to grow.
Olt ya ayyam da’et alet e’tarab essabilI said, “O days, I’m lost,” but they replied, “The path is drawing near.”
Abket el ayyam aayni hinama ghab eddalilThe days have made my eyes weep, now that my guide has disappeared.
Olt ya ayyam refqan alet el omr tawilI said, “O days, be gentle,” but they replied, “Life is still so long.”
