1. O you who leaves wealth as inheritance to heirs
As if you have never heard God's book

2. How many verses in God's book say "Eat!"
Then "Drink!" - Never "Leave what you earned altogether"

3. O you who is miserly in spending and hoards what
Will be taken away, seeing your stinginess as prudent

4. Have vain hopes made you think you'll live forever?
Or have you heard of any man who lived forever?

5. No being remains until you hope to
Stay forever, nor does one who passed return
