وَيُزهى الفَتى بِالمال وَالجاهِ في الدُّنى

وَيُزهى الفَتى بِالمال وَالجاهِ في الدُّنى

وَلذةِ مَطعومٍ وَناعمِ مَلبوسِ

وَلذةِ مَطعومٍ وَناعمِ مَلبوسِ

And the young man takes pride in wealth and status in this world,

The young man is adorned with wealth and status in this lowly world

and in the pleasure of food and soft clothing;

With the pleasure of delicious food and fine clothes

وَغايتُهُ ضعفٌ وَشَيبٌ وَميتةٌ

وَغايتُهُ ضعفٌ وَشَيبٌ وَميتةٌ

وَقَبرٌ وَبَعثٌ للنَعيمِ أَو البُوسِ

وَقَبرٌ وَبَعثٌ للنَعيمِ أَو البُوسِ

yet his end is weakness, gray hair, and death,

Yet his end is weakness, old age, death

and a grave, and resurrection to bliss or misery.

A grave, and resurrection to bliss or agony
