A man's world is his soul

المرء دنيا نفسه

1. A man's world is his soul
So when his soul passes, his world too shall pass

١. المَرءُ دُنيا نَفسهِ
فَإِذا اِنقَضى فَقَد اِنقَضَت

2. It shall perish for him in his perishing
And live on in whom it enriched

٢. تَفنى لَهُ بِفَنائِهِ
وَتَعودُ فيمَن حَصَّلَت

3. What good is a wet nurse whose milk
Weans one for death's embrace?

٣. ما خَيرُ مُرضِعَةٍ بِكَأ
سِ المَوتِ تفطمُ مَن غذَت

4. While meaning well she undoes
All the good she once did

٤. بَينَما قُربُ صَلاحِه
أَفسَدت ما أَصلَحت
