The stench of your wrongdoing is a harsh wind,

لفعالك المذموم ريح حوابس

1. The stench of your wrongdoing is a harsh wind,
While the fragrance of your good deed is a gentle breeze.

١. لِفَعالِكَ المَذمومُ ريحُ حَوابِسٍ
وَلِفِعلِكَ المَحمودِ رَيّا تَفَغَمُ

2. Nature has set this as the rule, so you'll never see
A rock speak out, nor a lizard grumble.

٢. وَالطَبعُ أَحكَمَهُ المَليكُ فَلَن تَرى
حَجَراً يَقولُ وَلا هِزبَراً يَبغُمُ

3. And if you rise up against fate as a rebel,
You may persist, but you will only choke.

٣. وَإِذا غَدَوتَ عَلى القَضاءِ مُغالِباً
فَأَذاكَ تَستَمري وَأَنفُكَ تَرغَمُ

4. Can lifting up evil bring about its end?
A straying one might be content with a meagertuft.

٤. أَيَكونُ رَفعٌ لِلشُرورِ فَيَنتَهي
غاوٍ وَيَقنَعُ بِالنَباتِ الضَيغَمِ

5. Death is the truest and most certain event,
Yet it seems a sweet lie that brings joy.

٥. وَالمَوتُ أَصدَقُ حادِثٍ وَأَصَحُّهُ
وَكَأَنَّهُ كَذِبٌ يُسَرُّ فَيَنغُمُ
