1. Seeker of life, you have two hundred years more, and then what?
After that, death is inevitable for the rich and the poor.
١. طالب العمر لك مائتي سنة بعدها واش
بعدها الموت لا خلا غنيا ولا أوحاش
2. O life, it seems you are the fortune of those who float around.
They love you, Qalal Ad-Din and the pious people are their enemies.
٢. يا دنيا ترى أنتي حظّ من كان يهواش
يعشقونش قلال الدين وأهل التقي أعداش
3. God knows for whom their eyes have not looked this way.
By God, today it is not worth it for those who know trifles.
٣. يعلم الله لمن ذي قد عينيه ما جاش
واللَه اليوم ما تسوى لمن يعرف ادناش
4. O Ali, be detached from this life as it is over ashes.
O Ali, you have tasted fire like the wilderness of Al-Kash.
٤. يا على جانب الدّنيا كما هي على لاش
يا على ذقت نيرانا كما برية الكاش
5. Some are aimed, some are bent, some carry it recklessly.
٥. حدّ مصوّب وحدّ مدنف وحدّ حمله اهاش
