إِن كُنتَ تُبصِرُ ما عَلَيكَ وَما لَكا

إِن كُنتَ تُبصِرُ ما عَلَيكَ وَما لَكا

فَاِنظُر لِمَن تَسعى وَتَترُكُ مالَكا

فَاِنظُر لِمَن تَسعى وَتَترُكُ مالَكا

If you discern what you owe and what is due to you,

If you see what is upon you and what is for you

then consider for whom you strive and leave your wealth.

Then look to whom you strive and leave your wealth

وَلَقَد تَرى أَنَّ الحَوادِثَ جَمَّةٌ

وَلَقَد تَرى أَنَّ الحَوادِثَ جَمَّةٌ

وَتَرى المَنِيَّةَ حَيثُ كُنتَ حِيالَكا

وَتَرى المَنِيَّةَ حَيثُ كُنتَ حِيالَكا

And indeed you see that calamities are many,

And you see that calamities are many

and see death facing you, wherever you are.

And you see death wherever you turn

يا إِبنَ آدَمَ كَيفَ تَرجو أَن يَكو

يا إِبنَ آدَمَ كَيفَ تَرجو أَن يَكو

نَ الرَأيُ رَأيَكَ وَالفِعالُ فِعالَكا

نَ الرَأيُ رَأيَكَ وَالفِعالُ فِعالَكا

O son of Adam, how can you hope that

O son of Adam, how can you hope

the judgment will be yours, and the deeds your own?

That opinion is your opinion and deed is your deed
