1. I advise my sons and their uncles
That death lies in wait for them
١. أُوَصّي بَنِيَّ وَأَعمامَهُم
بِأَنَّ المَنايا لَهُم راصِدَه
2. It has a set duration, and people's souls
Head towards it, even if they strive against it
٢. لَها مُدَّةٌ فَنُفوسُ العِبادِ
إِلَيها وَإِن جَهَدوا قاصِدَه
3. By God, if I live, it does not please me
And if I die, there is no return
٣. فَوَاللَهِ إِن عِشتُ ما سَرَّني
وَإِن مِتُّ ما كانَتِ العائِدَه
