1. In the infant's tight-fisted grip at birth
There's proof of the compound greed in life
١. وَفي قَبضِ كَفِ الطّفلِ عِندَ وَلادِهِ
دَليلٌ عَلى الحِرصِ المُرَكَّبِ في الحَيِّ
2. And in its spread hand at death there are lessons
Look at me, for I have departed with nothing
٢. وَفي بَسطِها عِندَ المَماتِ مَواعِظٌ
أَلا فَاِنظِروني قَد خَرَجتُ بِلا شَيِّ
