Sol 6.1

  1. أَما مِنَ المَوتِ لِحَيٍّ نَجا

    كُلُّ امرِئٍ آتٍ عَلَيهِ الفَنا

    Is there no escape from death for any living being?

    Every person will be overtaken by death.

  2. تَبارَكَ اللَهُ وَسُبحانَهُ

    لِكُلِّ شَيءٍ مُدَّةٌ وَانقِضا

    Blessed is God, and glory be to Him.

    Everything has a span and an end.

  3. يُقَدِّرُ الإِنسانُ في نَفسِهِ

    أَمراً وَيَأباهُ عَلَيهِ القَضا

    A person devises in his mind

    A plan, but fate denies it to him.

  4. وَيُرزَقُ الإِنسانُ مِن حَيثُ لا

    يَرجو وَأَحياناً يُضِلُّ الرَجا

    And a person receives sustenance from where he does not

    Expect it; and sometimes hope leads astray.

  5. اليَأسُ يَحمي لِلفَتى عِرضَهُ

    وَالطَمَعُ الكاذِبُ داءٌ عَيا

    Giving up hope safeguards a young man's honor,

    And vain craving is an incurable disease.

  6. ما أَزيَنَ الحِلمَ لِأَربابِهِ

    وَغايَةُ الحِلمِ تَمامُ التُقى

    How becoming forbearance is to those who possess it!

    And the culmination of forbearance is perfect piety.

  7. وَالحَمدُ مِن أَربَحِ كَسبِ الفَتى

    وَالشُكرُ لِلمَعروفِ نِعمَ الجَزا

    And praise is among a young man's richest gains,

    And gratitude is a fine recompense for kindness.

  8. يا آمِنَ الدَهرِ عَلى أَهلِهِ

    لِكُلِّ عَيشٍ مُدَّةٌ وَانتِها

    O you who trust time to spare its people,

    Every life has a span and an end.

  9. بَينَا يُرى الإِنسانُ في غِبطَةٍ

    أَصبَحَ قَد حَلَّ عَلَيهِ البِلى

    While a person is seen in bliss,

    He wakes to find decay has already come upon him.

  10. لا يَفخَرِ الناسُ بِأَنسابِهِم

    فَإِنَّما الناسُ تُرابٌ وَما

    Let people not boast of their ancestry,

    For people are only dust and water.
