وَيُزهى الفَتى بِالمال وَالجاهِ في الدُّنى

وَيُزهى الفَتى بِالمال وَالجاهِ في الدُّنى

وَلذةِ مَطعومٍ وَناعمِ مَلبوسِ

وَلذةِ مَطعومٍ وَناعمِ مَلبوسِ

The young man glories in wealth and rank in this lower world,

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

And in the pleasures of fine food and soft attire.

And in the pleasure of food and soft clothing;

وَغايتُهُ ضعفٌ وَشَيبٌ وَميتةٌ

وَغايتُهُ ضعفٌ وَشَيبٌ وَميتةٌ

وَقَبرٌ وَبَعثٌ للنَعيمِ أَو البُوسِ

وَقَبرٌ وَبَعثٌ للنَعيمِ أَو البُوسِ

Yet his final end is weakness, gray hair, and death,

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

A grave, then resurrection—to bliss or misery.

And a grave, and resurrection to bliss or misery.
