1. خُذِ الدُنيا بِأَيسَرِها عَلَيكا

    وَمِل عَنها إِذا قَصَدَت إِلَيكا

    Take this world in the way easiest for you,

    And turn away from it when it comes toward you;

  2. فَإِنَّ جَميعَ ما خُوِّلتَ مِنها

    سَتَنفُضُهُ جَميعاً مِن يَدَيكا

    For all that you have been granted of it,

    You will shake it all from your hands.
