The sun is distant, without its nearest

مسافة الشمس دون أقربه

And if they call us, we lend them our ear

The dead do not leave their grave dwellings

لا يبرح القبر ميتٌ سكنه

3. No day has passed with something to divert it
Except we made you therein a tester

إلّا جعلناك فيه ممتحنه

Unless we saw in its clothes its shroud

ألا رأينا في ثوبه كفنه

Of tomorrow or charm me with its beauty

٥. آليت لا يستخفني أملٌ
في الغد أو تستغرني حسنه

6. Time but for hopes would be ambiguous
And man in his end sees his time

والمرء في نسفه يرى زمنه
