1. The son of Adam is not ignorant of his demise
Yet he forgets what is serious through play
١. لَيْسَ ابْنُ آدَمَ ذا جَهْلٍ بِمَصْرَعِهِ
لَكِنَّهُ يَتَنَاسَى الْجِدَّ بِاللَّعِبِ
2. You see him distracted, never ceasing in caution
And the soul's comfort is not without fatigue
٢. تَراهُ يَلْهُو وَلا يَنْفَكُّ في حَذَرٍ
وَرَاحَةُ النَّفْسِ لا تَخْلُو مِنَ التَّعَبِ
