Ben 'adam hu rak basar va-dam
'Avak poreakh ba-midbar
Ben 'adam, be-derekh ha-'olam
Ke-tzel 'over, ka-kheres ha-nishbar
'Adam hu rak 'adam ve-rov yamav leilot
Ve-'ein 'adam mushlam be-khol ha-ma'alot
'Az ten lo lakhalom ve-ten lo neshima
Ten le-Shem, ten le-Kham, ten le-Yefet nekhama
'Al takhbid yadkha 'alav ve-ten tikva
Ve-'al tadun 'oto tamid le-khaf khova
Ki 'adam hu 'adam hu 'adam
Hu rak 'adam
Ben 'adam ne'or u-khvar nirdam
Yamav ktzarim, sofam 'atzuv
Ben 'adam 'oreakh ba-'olam
Ba me-'afar u-le-afar yashuv
'Adam hu rak 'adam ve-rov yamav leilot
Ve-'ein 'adam mushlam be-khol ha-ma'alot
'Az ten lo lakhalom ve-ten lo neshima
Ten le-Shem, ten le-Kham, ten le-Yefet nekhama
