Whoever knows this world will be humbled

من يعرف الدنيا يهن عنده

1. Whoever knows this world will be humbled
Its deception lasts long and its tribulations endless

١. مَن يَعرِفِ الدُنيا يَهُن عِندَهُ
إِمراعُها الدَهرَ وَإِمحالُها

2. Its pleasures entrance its kings
If it did not change their circumstances

٢. لَذّاتُها تُعجِبُ أَملاكَها
لَو لَم تُغَيَّر بِهِمُ حالُها

3. It is a house we inhabited against our will
And we watch it only to move on

٣. دارٌ حَلَلناها عَلى رَغمِنا
وَإِنَّما يُنظَرُ تَرحالُها

4. The cheeks are like a laden date palm
And her poor husband collects its fruit

٤. وَالخَودُ كَالنَخلَةِ مَجنِيَّةٌ
وَزَوجُها البائِسُ فُحّالُها
