1. Greed in all desires makes one deaf
Have you not seen each back breaking?
١. الحِرصُ في كُلِّ الأَفانينِ يَصِم
أَما رَأَيتَ كُلَّ ظَهرٍ يَنقَصِم
2. And a pillar from each living thing breaking?
Have you not heard events arguing?
٢. وَعُروَةً مِن كُلِّ حَيٍّ تَنقَصِم
أَما سَمِعتَ الحادِثاتِ تَختَصِم
3. Or does your love of things blind and deafen?
٣. أَم حُبُّكِ الأَشياءَ يُعمي وَيُصِم
